  • Hidden Line Views: use the radio button to remove lines using “Vector processing” or “Raster processing”.
  • Options: use the checkbox to select some of the general settings you want.

DWG Settings

ProSheets uses the Revit engine to export to DWG. All the DWG settings will be read from the DWG export setups created in Revit.

Steps:

1. In Revit UI go to File -> Export -> DWG and create a new DWG/DXF export setup as per your requirements (if you don’t know how to create/modify a DWG/DXF setup, read this article)

2. Use the dropdown to switch between the existing DWG setups. If you created the setup with ProSheets opened, you may need to close and reopen it to see the new setup in the list.

# Note:
To Create an "Export Group" go to "DWG Export" and select "Modify Export Setup" on the "Select Export Setup" group box.

1. Select the checkbox to “Export views on sheets and links as external references”.

2. Use the checkbox to “Bind Images as OLE in DWG File” (premium feature).

# Note:
This feature requires AutoCAD 2019 or higher, to work.
