I am sure on a course I did that mention was made of being able to issue Revit drawings to people without the software to view only. Am I correct ? If yes, how do you save it ? I have tried exporting to Autocad for reading in "Volo View" but file is a presentation sheet view and it loses alot of stuff in translation. I have also tried as jpeg but it loses text quality. Is their an equivalent free donwload like volo view for Revit that client can obtain ?

You can use dxf export and export all your views out to single file and then use Autodesk Express Viewer to view the files... Still involves and export though, if you actually want to send the revit model though, revit is the only program that can open the drawings. Remember it is possible to download revit and use it as a viewer only... If this helps...

Thank you Mr Spot, helpful as always. I will suggest downloading to client so he can view files. I have tried dxf but no better than exporting dwg as it is a presentation. If I had more time to alter all export setings then it may work, but with time restrictions being what they are nowadays... Cheers and thanks

People who want to view your files can download revit, choose not to load the libraries and register it in demo mode. This causes revit to act as a viewer, they cannot modify or print but they can view. The demo license is infinite so they won't have to worry about it timing out.
