revitDwgImportCleaner

Clean dwg files before linking them to Revit

Current features:

• change to model space
• bind (optional) and detach all xrefs
• remove all xlines from model space and from blocks
• delete all points from modelspace
• move hatches to separate layers
• attribute definitions not in block to txt because they are not showing up in Revit
• change and verify units for automatic import
• PROXYGRAPHICS=1 (one less annoying dialog)
• purge
• audit
• save as 2013 dwg
• save to desktop if filename is too long

Planned features

• move closer to origin
• remove layouts
• replace heavy linestyles and hatches

Usage

• Download from here (rightclick, save page as)
• Drag the file to the opened Autocad drawing
• Select always load
• During execution the script asks questions. Wrap this in an scr if you want to run this with Scriptpro
