Hi everyone!

I’m traying to export my revit views to cad using Dynamo, the problem is that I want to make only one cad file changing the origing point for each view.

I make a list with all views and another one with the origin point for each one but I’m new using Dynamo and I don’t know how to marge all files.

I don’t know if I can do it or if I’m saying something stupid.

Thanks for everything!!

Hi. You can certainly automate the dwg export:

> OK, here’s how this works: First input is a Folder Path that you want to export the DWG to. Use Directory Path node for this. Then you have a list of views to export. For the sake of this example I just grabbed a few of the sections from my model. Then you have to specify a name for each exported view. That can be automated and we can let Revit automatically assign a name for each DWG but I usually want to specify my own so this is how I set this up. lastly we don’t want to export DW…

…but I think there’s no way to merge several dwg through Dynamo.

Fortunately you can solve this task simply using Autocad:

If you need to change the position of the objects in dwg too, you can create a simple tools using Autocad API before merging them.
