Specify Text Treatment for DWG/DXF Export

You can specify the degree of visual fidelity that will be maintained upon export.

On the Text & Fonts tab of the Modify DWG/DXF Export Setup dialog (see Exporting to DWG or DXF), you can map Revit text fonts to specific DWG/DXF text fonts as needed.

Specifying Visual Fidelity

From the Text treatment during export drop-down list, select one of the following options:

• Exact (Formatting intelligence will be lost). Exported text will look exactly as it does in Revit (exact line wrapping). However, if the text includes bulleted or numbered lists, that paragraph functionality is lost upon export. Pressing Enter within a formatted paragraph will not restore the formatting.
• Approximate (Formatting intelligence will be maintained). If exported text includes bulleted or numbered lists, that paragraph functionality is maintained when the text is edited. Pressing Enter within a formatted paragraph will restore the formatting. However, the visual appearance of the text may vary from the original, whether or not the note contains a list (that is, wrapping may vary).

Mapping Revit Text Fonts to DWG/DXF Text Fonts

By default, all the Revit fonts listed in the mapping table have a value of {Automatically map font} in the Text Fonts in DWG column, which means the Revit font will be maintained in the exported file. If you want to map a Revit font to a specific DWG text font, click the value for that font in the Text Fonts in DWG column, and then select the desired font from the drop-down list.

You can click Reset All to change all the DWG font values in the table back to {Automatically map font}. Alternatively, you can multi-select rows and click {Automatically map font}.
