Import Autocad Layer State

Jul 11, 2012  I'm trying to export my revit drawings to autocad and was wondering if there was a way to import specific autocad layers into revit so when they are opened in autocad the layers diplay correctly. I have found the dwg export settings and noticed there are only a few different layer standards and they are read as.txt files. The Layer Standards dialog will now include your new standard in the list box, and it will be selected. To edit any standard, select it from the list and choose the Edit button. This will open the Layer Standard Properties dialog, which is where you will enter or modify all of the data associated with your standard.
