Introduction
Are you tired of the laborious process of converting your Autodesk Revit models to AutoCAD DWG files? Look no further than RVT 2 DWG (PWGSC NCA) – a powerful plugin designed to streamline the conversion process and save you countless hours of work. With its specialized features and customization options, this plugin is a must-have for anyone in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry.
Why RVT 2 DWG?
RVT 2 DWG Suite offers a range of conversion utilities and processes specifically designed to convert Revit models to standard AutoCAD DWG file formats. While Revit does provide an export to CAD option, RVT 2 DWG takes the conversion process a step further by customizing it for different federal and provincial government departments, as well as commercial clients. Regardless of your field - whether you're an architect, a structural, mechanical, or electrical engineer, or an interior designer - if you rely on Revit for efficient production drafting, RVT 2 DWG is an essential addition to your toolkit.

How Does It Work?
The conversion process with RVT 2 DWG is a simple three-step procedure. First, before creating the model, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the pre-built Revit families included in the conversion utility. These families, such as TitleBlocks, Elevation, Section, and Detail Markers, are compliant with the specific standards you're converting to. In the second step, the Revit Export to CAD conversion utility maps Revit objects to AutoCAD layers based on your desired standard. However, as Revit tends to mess up text styles, dimension styles, and layers, a third step is necessary. RVT 2 DWG's conversion utility, which can be run in batch mode using ScriptPro, cleans up the messy DWG file created by Revit using the provided template, ensuring your DWG files pass any quality assurance (QA) check.
Customization and Support
RVT 2 DWG currently offers four different standards: PWGSC Atlantic, PWGSC NCA, PWGSC Ontario, and NS DTI (Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure). However, if you have a different company standard, the developers are happy to adjust their software to meet your requirements. This flexibility and commitment to customer satisfaction set RVT 2 DWG apart from other conversion plugins.
Installation support for RVT 2 DWG is provided free of charge, ensuring a smooth setup process. Additionally, product support can be purchased separately, enabling you to access assistance when needed.
Pre-Requisites and QA Check
Before submitting your converted files to PWGSC, it is crucial to run the PWGSC QA check. As part of passing this check, you'll need to download and install the FREE PWGSC Atlantic CAD Standard software, which includes the necessary color tables for printing. Following this procedure ensures your converted files meet the required standards and easily integrate into the PWGSC workflow.
Note that RVT 2 DWG uses a custom installer, distinct from the standard App Store installer, ensuring a tailored and seamless installation process.
