Creating or Modifying DWG/DXF Export Layers Standard for Organization

Saving the DWG/DXF Export Setup Setting to a text file is no longer an option in Revit 2012 and above versions; the settings are retained/saved in the Revit project file. If you need to copy these settings between projects, you can use “Transfer Project Standards” command.

Instead of doing the above process you may wish to create the DWG/DXF Export Layer Standard test file based on your organization practice. For that case please click HERE to download Singapore standard CP83 layer mapping file and open in Notepad application for editing if your office don't have Revit Architecture 2011 version. (In Revit Architecture 2011, use the Export Layers tool to create a custom layer mapping file.)

 

 

After you edited mapping values as desired (by entering new Projection or Cut value under appropriate category), save as the settings as a new layer mapping file under your office network drive. 

In Modify DWG/DXF Export Setup dialog box, click Create New Export Setup and name ABC Company Standard.  

 

 

By default, you can choose one of the four standards to use but you have to choose the fifth option Load setting from file from the Load layers from standards list. From Load Export Layer File dialog box, browse to your newly created Export Layers Standard text file, and click OK. Enjoy!
