We would need Autodesk's active assistance in terms of providing software and sample problematic files for anyone at Adobe to be able to even begin helping Autodesk to resolve the issue. (5) We have no idea where the issue is since as far as I know, Autodesk has not reached out to Adobe to assist in troubleshooting the issue.

(4) Autocad itself acknowledges that the problem occurs with at least one other third party PDF driver / creator. In the description of the problem Autodesk's article specifically points to model complexity as a major factor in the symptoms occurring or being alleviated. For complex models, the output is just that much more in size and complexity.

(3) CAD software typically produces very verbose output, exceptional numbers of line segments and itsy-bitsy filled polygons which in turn produces even more complex PostScript and PDF, even for simple models. It is in either the creation of the PostScript or in the Distiller. (2) Revit creates PDF with Acrobat via printing to the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance in which content provided by Revit is converted to PostScript with the driver itself (a Microsoft component) which is then fed into Acrobat Distiller (a component of Adobe Acrobat) which converts the PostScript to PDF. The variable here appears to be Autodesk Revit, not Adobe Acrobat. (1) Clearly the problem started with recent versions of Autodesk Revit beginning in 2016 and continuing on through at least the current 2017 release.

Do no use Override Graphics in View functionality to control visibility or graphics.I have looked at the Autodesk article cited as well as the postings on Autodesk's forums.

This is an identical method to controlling native Revit model elements, such as Doors.

Utilising View Templates is an efficient method for controlling DWG overrides in multiple views.

Note: Layer conventions and usage must be strictly followed in CAD software to ensure graphic overrides behave as expected.

Check that the DWG graphics have been overridden as expected.

Within the Visibility/Graphics Overrides dialogue select the appropriate categories.Ĭlick the Visibility Tick button to turn them off.

Within the Line Graphics dialogue, select the desired weight, colour and pattern.

Note: DWG layers are translated to Revit Categories.

Select the appropriate categories and click Override.

Ĭlick on the DWG Plus (+) button to expand the Categories. Within the Visibility/Graphics Overrides dialogue, navigate to the Imported Categories tab.From the View select Properties > Graphics > Visibility/Graphics Overrides click Edit.Save it and perform the steps above again.

Remove any unnecessary lines, hatching, annotation and blocks and then perform a purge and audit of the file. Note: If the DWG is not visible in the view then reopen the DWG in AutoCAD, ensure that all layers are visible and unfreeze any if required. The DWG will be linked into the Revit file.Note: Only use the Current View option if you have no intentions of viewing the DWG in other views. From the Link CAD Formats dialogue, select the DWG.From the Ribbon, click Insert > Link CAD.Open Revit and select the desired View you wish to link the DWG into.Linking DWGs is appropriate where external consultant information must be incorporated into drawings produced from Revit.Īll external CAD references should be Linked, never Loaded.
