Export Sheets to DWG add-in for Revit, previously known as “Multiple Sheets to 1 DWG,” is a specialized tool designed to streamline the export of multiple Revit sheets into a single DWG file. Unlike Revit’s native functionality, which exports each sheet to an individual DWG file, this add-in simplifies the process by consolidating all selected sheets into one DWG file. This approach reduces the time and effort involved in manually merging DWG files, creating a more efficient workflow for architects and designers who frequently need to deliver consolidated DWG packages for coordination, documentation, and client review.
Single or multi-layouts. Users can choose to export multiple sheets into a DWG file with either a single layout tab or multiple layout tabs. The “Sheets to 1 DWG – One Layout” command consolidates all drawings into a single layout, making it convenient for quick presentations or simplified documentation. Alternatively, the “Sheets to DWG – Multi-Layouts” command maintains each sheet on a separate layout tab, similar to AutoCAD’s native setup, providing organized and structured output for complex project documentation.
Export sheets to DWG integration. For optimal performance, this add-in integrates with another AutoCAD plugin, “Merge Sheets,” developed by the same developer. Installing “Merge Sheets” beforehand enhances the export workflow, allowing Revit to send merged files directly to AutoCAD with minimal setup. If “Merge Sheets” is not installed permanently, it will install temporarily during each export. This connectivity between Revit and AutoCAD allows users to leverage AutoCAD’s robust DWG editing and review tools without needing to handle individual files.
Export sheets to DWG plans. Export Sheets to DWG add-in operates on a subscription basis, offering both monthly and annual plans. A 30-day free trial is available, providing ample time to explore the plugin’s functionality and determine its suitability for your workflow.
Summary. Export Sheets to DWG enhances Revit’s native DWG export functionality by providing a faster, more organized way to export multiple sheets into one consolidated DWG file. This add-in is particularly useful for architectural and engineering teams who rely on DWG files for collaboration, as it eliminates the need for time-consuming file merges. Users benefit from simplified document preparation, especially when working with large Revit models requiring consistent, consolidated DWG output.
Typical workflow
- Install the add-in: After installation, access the new MLAce ribbon in Revit, where you’ll find commands for exporting sheets with single or multiple layouts and for batch exporting across projects.
- Select sheets and adjust settings: Choose the sheets or sheet sets for export, configure DWG settings, define the file path, and customize options, such as auto-opening in AutoCAD and disabling external references.
- Set paper size: In the Sheet List dialog, adjust paper sizes as needed for each sheet. Once satisfied with the settings, press OK to initiate the export process.
