As mentioned on my YT channel comments, generally exporting CAD/DWG from Revit doesn’t consider view filters and colours in such a way that AutoCAD will like-for-like match Revit.

I believe most settings are controlled from here:

These allow you to control layer colour and naming by category/sub-category. From there if you wanted to print it from AutoCAD, a ctb file would need to be applied that suits these assignments. There are limitations however, and most client CAD requirements in my experience aren’t achievable in Revit without heavy content customization (e.g. a sub-layer which doesn’t naturally have a category or sub-category available).

Dynamo is limited by how Revit handles certain things such as this I think.

Yes you will need setup a dwg mapping table as Gavin say…or just set the layer after export in acad…i have done it with a graph in acad there change the layers after export it work pretty good…think i use Camber package
