In this video, Shaun Bryant explains how you can utilize your standard settings in AutoCAD and replicate them in additional settings in Revit.
- [Instructor] You'll notice in this video I've jumped…back into AutoCad for a moment.…Now the reason I've done that is we're gonna have…a little look at how we would match our AutoCad standard…settings so that they actually work within our Revit…project as well.…So things like line types are prime examples in AutoCad.…Now we know that in all of our AutoCad drawings…that we've used so far in the chapters in this course,…they are adhering to BS1192 British standard 1192…because I exported those settings out from the Revit project…originally to create a drawing that we can use in AutoCad.…
And that's what you can see in front of you right now.…Now you don't actually need to download any drawing…from the library for this AutoCad part of this video.…I'm just gonna show you where to find things in AutoCad…that you can relate to Revit so that you can take…the standards you've got in AutoCad into…your Revit projects.…So I'm gonna go to the home tab in AutoCad…and I'm gonna go to layer properties.…And it doesn't matter which layer you use for this.…
