Exporting Layers

When exporting a project to another format (such as DWG or DGN), you want the exported file to contain
as much information about the project as possible. Revit Architecture stores a wealth of project information
in its categories and subcategories. In CAD software, this type of information is stored in layers (or levels in
MicroStation). To ensure that information about Revit categories is properly converted to CAD layer names,
use the Export Layers tool to define a layer mapping file.
The layer mapping file is a text file that maps each Revit category or subcategory to a preconfigured layer
name for the CAD software. For example, a Revit door object automatically maps to A-DOOR layer in
AutoCAD. The layer names are preconfigured in the text file, but you can change them.
You can load an existing layer mapping file and manually change values for it, or you can generate a file
using any of the following mapping standards:
American Institute of Architects (AIA)
ISO standard 13567
Singapore standard 83
British standard 1192
1360 | Chapter 24 Interoperability
A markup object might look as follows.
Manage Project panel
The tab lists all the linked, marked-up DWF files.
The next time the DWF file is opened, it will contain the changes to the markup objects.
Other tools on this tab work similarly to the tools on the other Manage Links tabs. For more
