- Specify Output File
-
Specifies the location for the published file. Select the Autodesk Docs location where you want to save the file and specify a file name.
Note: The Publish Surfaces command requires that you specify a location within an Autodesk Docs\<hub>\<folder>\<subfolder> location. A connected drive for Autodesk Docs is indicated by a
icon. An account within the connected drive is indicated by a hub icon
. A folder is created within a hub.
Note: By default, the file will have the same name as the current drawing name and will be saved with a .shared.dwg file name extension. For example, if drawing1.dwg is the file name, by default the file will be saved as drawing1.shared.dwg. The surfaces that you specify are all saved in the same file. When you link to the topography in Revit, all of the surfaces in the file are linked.
