Preserve visual fidelity is most appropriate when we want the text to LOOK as close to the same in Revit and AutoCAD as possible. These influence how Revit decides what is most important to you during the export. No font is identical to another, the spacing between characters is different so it isn't possible to accurately scale it based on the width of the note either.Īre you familiar with these settings governing exporting Text to DWG format? This means the text size or the text note width cannot be exactly reported if exported. This rounding affects measuring where a paragraph will wrap to the next line. Revit selects a size in 1/2 point increments. In Revit when you want a certain text size in length units it has to pick a size that matches as close as it can in point size, for example 12 pt Arial. There are still going to be some differences if we observe font generation in both programs very closely, in particular when it is exported to DWG. That decision was based on customer feedback and further review of AutoCAD's own code. As of 2017 the size of text will be based on using the font's cap height, which is measured from the baseline to the top of the capital letter "M". This means when we attempt to measure the resulting font we usually don't get a result we'd expect. Unfortunately typical characters do not extend to the ascender line. In the past the size of text was measured from the font baseline to its ascender line (that's technical font speak). As a result, they've revised the method for measuring text size to be a bit more like it (AutoCAD). Part of the process of building the new text editor involved comparing how Revit worked with AutoCAD. The same could be said of the schedule editing view too, which remains unaffected by these changes however.ĭid you know that fonts are complicated? The more you know about something the more complicated it is, like life I suppose. With what is possible with screen resolution these days though it's not uncommon to find it quite hard to edit text without zooming closer to it. I still think it's wise to use the Zoom Sheet Size feature to get a better sense of proportion while editing the text. The rendering engine that generates what we see on screen has been reworked to permit this to behave better. As I mentioned briefly earlier, you'll notice that we don't enter into a special text editing canvas anymore. When we are editing text zooming in and out of the view doesn't influence the text element negatively now. You can now turn on and off each quadrant using the Yes/No Parameters you set up in the element's properties.They've managed to fix the zooming issue we've had with editing text. Now load your new Detail Component into a Legend View in your project and set the appropriate scale.

Click on it and select your new Yes/No Parameter as the parameter that defines the visiblity. At the far right there is a tiny grey box.

To do this go to the Filled Region's properties and you'll find a Visibility check box. Draw Filled regions for each unit or quadrant of your Base Plan and assign each one a Yes/No Parameter. Add a Yes/No Parameter for each unit or quadrant. Export your Base Plan to DWG (just the unit boundaries)Ģ. Revit does not currently have a Key Plan Tool so this is what we do when we need a Key Plan on our sheets.ġ.
