[Copy to CAD] Feature
Feature Description
This feature allows you to copy element information from Revit to the clipboard through export processing, and paste it directly as single-line elements in AutoCAD. It requires minimal steps and makes data transfer between AutoCAD and Revit faster and more convenient.
During drafting, this feature can project the 3D model details built in Revit into a 2D view, allowing the required elements to be copied directly to AutoCAD for 2D node and detail refinement.

2.Not supported in 3D views, sheet views, or schedules.
3.Only supported in plan views, section views, elevation views, detail views, area plans, and legend views.
