Export sheets to DWG
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
1. Launch & Locate Tool
-
Open Autodesk Revit and load your project.
-
Navigate to the MLabs tab on the Revit ribbon to open the plugin.
2. Sheet Selection & Arrangement
-
Click Multiple Layouts or Model Space depending on your export target, then select the Revit sheets you want to convert.
-
Choose your view arrangement (Horizontal or Vertical) and order your sheets by specific rules (e.g., Sheet Number).
3. Settings Configuration
-
AutoCAD Template File: Leave the default (
acadiso.dwt/acad.dwt) or browse to select your custom template for merging files accurately. -
DWG Export Settings: Select your standard Revit DWG export setup and choose your target destination folder.
-
AutoCAD Version: Select the matching full AutoCAD version installed on your machine for the merging process.
4. Conversion Scale Options (For Model Space)
Choose how scales translate to retain accurate dimensioning in AutoCAD Model Space:
-
Scale model based on layout (Default Min): Scales the drawing up based on its original viewport scale (e.g., 1:50 becomes 50x larger) to reflect real-world measurements. If multiple scales exist ("As indicated"), it defaults to the minimum scale available.
-
Keep layout scale at 1:1: Keeps the overall layout scale unchanged at 1:1. Viewports will not be scaled up, meaning real-world dimensions will require scaling to measure correctly in model space.
-
Scale model based on layout (Default 1:1): Functions like the first option by scaling up based on the viewport scale, but defaults to a 1:1 scale if the sheet contains multiple mixed scales ("As indicated").
5. Advanced Options & Execution
-
Configure optional features if needed, such as Layout Naming Rules, AutoCAD Layout Printer Settings, Setup Sheet Set Manager, or Merge Layers.
-
Click OK to run the automated export and merge process.
