7 To specify export options, click Options, select the desired options, and click OK.
8 In the Export dialog, click Save.
Revit Architecture exports the selected views and sheets to DWG files and places them in the target folder.
When you export a 2D view to a DWG file, lines are treated as follows:
If 2 lines overlap in the drawing, the thicker of the lines is retained. The thinner line is shortened or
removed.
If a thick line is shorter than a thin line and its start point and endpoint fall within the thin line, no
action occurs.
If 2 collinear lines with the same visual parameters overlap, they are merged into one.
When walls become lines in the DWG file, no short collinear lines are produced.
