Text and Fonts for DWG/DXF Export

Use the Text & Fonts tab of the Modify DWG/DXF Export Setup dialog to map Revit LT text fonts to specific DWG/DXF text fonts.

  • Click File tab ExportOptions (Export Setups DWG/DXF). Select the setup to modify. Click the Text & Fonts tab.

    Note: You can also click (Modify Export Setup) from an export dialog to launch the file specific export setup dialog.

Text treatment during export

Use this setting to specify the degree of visual fidelity to maintain upon export.

From the drop-down list, select one of the following options:

  • Preserve visual fidelity. Exported text looks exactly as it does in Exported text looks very similar to Revit LT. Paragraphs are broken up to mimic the source text rather than wrapped in the text note. The paragraph functionality of bulleted lists or numbered lists for example, is likely lost upon export. Pressing Enter within a formatted paragraph does not restore the formatting.
  • Preserve editability. Text formatting, including paragraph breaks and text wrapping, is preserved. Positioning and line lengths may differ. If exported text includes bulleted lists or numbered lists, that paragraph functionality is maintained when the text is edited. Multilevel lists will likely need to be manually adjusted. Pressing Enter within a formatted paragraph restores the formatting.

Map Revit LT fonts to fonts in DWG

By default, each Revit LT font listed in the mapping table has a value of {Automatically map font} in the Text Fonts in DWG column. As a result, the Revit LT font is maintained in the exported file.

To map a Revit LT font to a specific DWG text font, click the value for that font in the Text Fonts in DWG column, and select the desired font from the drop-down list.

To change all the values in the table back to {Automatically map font}, click Reset All.

Note: Changing a font on export may adversely affect visual fidelity of your model sheets and views.
