  • Controlling Output File Names From AutoCAD
Unfortunately Autdesk has been horrible to say the least with how they pass the filename out to a system printer driver. For some reason they thought it would be a good idea to always append on a ' (1)' to the end and for a few version also appened on the .dwg or .dxf extension name. Also prior to 2005 they only passed the short name and not the fullname with the path. So in AutoCAD 2000, 2000i, 2002, and 2004 we cannot know what they default folder is to save it in so it will default to the last folder that you saved the PDF file in.
In AutoCAD 2006 and newer if you have the fullplotpath system variable set to 1 then we do know what folder to save the file in.
So let's says you have a drawing saved as Drawing1.dwg in your My Documents folder.
(C:Documents and SettingsYourLoginMy DocumentsDrawing1.dwg) If we look at the various versions of AutoCAD this is how the filenames are going to be sent out to the system printer driver.

So because we know that you probably do not want the AutoCAD naming conventions we have added a few filters into our PDF-XChange for AcroPlot Pro Printer Driver. To access these settings simply run the AcroPlot Admin Program.
Strip off ' Model (1)' - When checked this will remove all ' Model (1)' from the end of the filename and you will just end up with Drawing1.pdf
Strip off ' Model (1)' - When checked this will remove all ' Layout* (1)' from the end of the filename and you will just end up with Drawing1.pdf. You do have to be careful on this one because if you have the word Layout in the filename with a space before it then it will strip out starting at that point. So do not be naming your drawings like 'Sample Layout.dwg'
Strip off ' (1) - This will just strip off the ' (1)' from the end so you will end up with 'Drawing1 Model.dwg' We strongly recommend that you keep this one checked.
Strip off all layout names - This one will strip off the layout name no matter what it is. Also this one only works properly if you do not have any spaces in your folder name and the filename because it works by stripping off starting at the 1st space that it finds.
Strip off '.dwg ' - This will strip off just the .dwg from AutoCAD 2005 and 2006. Depending on the other ones that you also have selected it will strip off those also.
Strip off '.dwg *' - This will strip off everything after the .dwg from AutoCAD 2005 and 2006 so it will remove all layoutnames.

Clients required drawings in dwgs to import them into BIM/revit models to have details sheets inside a unique file. Now this workflow is not more possible, or it is very complicated. Convert dmg file to ipa file. In layout 2016 version it was possible to complete the work in layout using hybrib or vector graphic, export the drawing and link into revit. Every time i did an update of the design into skp, drawing sheet was automatically updated into Revit file. Now this important option has been turn off in Layout 2017.
Layout is improving a lot i hope it will be possible to re-integrate this option in the next realize.
Please keep in mind this point, unfortunately a lot of clients want BIM and unfortunately in the most cases for design stages BIM=revit.
Revit is a good database but it will not be a free mind design software as skp, this option will give us the possibility to provide what clients want following the workflow that we prefer. Layby reminder template microsoft.

I’m trying for the first time to export DXF/DWG files from a Layout file for AutoCad 2013. I am opening these files, to check on the exports fidelity, in SketchUp 2017 because that is what I have but I need to send them on to someone who works in AutoCad. I have both imported elements (viewports) from SKUP and vector lines, shapes, dimensions, and text that I drew/placed in Layout.
