With Autodesk Point Layout, you can create a DXF,
00:07
or a Drawing Exchange Format file, that includes all points in the current view of your Revit model.
00:14
DXF is a widely compatible format that can be shared easily among different software programs.
00:21
First, turn off all annotations except for grids.
00:26
With your Revit model open to the desired view, press VG to open the Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog.
00:35
On the Annotation Categories tab, click All to highlight all annotations,
00:41
then click any of the Visibility selection boxes twice to select all, and then deselect all.
00:49
Next, scroll down and select Grids.
00:54
Click Apply, and then click OK.
01:00
To create the DXF, from the ribbon, Autodesk Point Layout tab, select Create DXF.
01:09
In the Select View dialog, use the Filter field to search for and select the currently open view.
01:17
Then, in the Output Scale dialog, specify the output units—in this case, select Feet to match the point file.
01:28
From the Coordinate System dialog, select whether you want to use Project or Shared coordinates for the exported DXF.
01:37
In this case, select Project.
01:42
In the Save As dialog, name and Save your file.
01:47
Now, you can create a DXF file that includes all the points in your current Revit view using Autodesk Point Layout.
