I have created a mapping file for when you need to export

your views / sheets out to AutoCAD dwg files. The mapping file can be found in \MasterDocs\CAD\Revit\Waterman Library and is called WGPLC-exportlayers-dwg.txt
To do this go to --> file --> Export --> CAD Formats
Then go to Layer SettingsIf not already loaded you can Load and Browse to the file ..

As always if you find anything I have missed or got wrong please let me know.

As most of you already know ..... I do make mistakes.

Naming of Revit models !!!

The naming of Revit model files should follow a similar pattern to the naming of any other CAD file.
So ... If you are not using worksets and therefore don't have a Central file the name should be along the lines of ... Job Number-Project Name.rvt for example 12345-a buliding.rvt and this file should reside in a folder called 3D ( The folder is called 3D and not just Revit in case you have any other 3D format files ie. Navis or 3ddwf ) under the Cad directory.
If you are using worksets and therefore have a Central file the name should be ..... Job Number-Project Name-Scentral.rvt ( the S before central meaning Structures ) and this file should reside in a folder called 3D under the Cad directory.
Your Local file name should be ... Job Number-Project Name-logon name.rvt for example 12345-a building-csmfh.rvt and this file should reside on your C: .
