When I am exporting to DWG the text gets huge, dimensions get huge, and overidden dimensions get altered.  What do I need to do to make Revit export how I see to DWG?  I tried to take to PDF then to DWG, but the conversion program I used for this did not work very well.  Any suggestions?

Don't export to DWG?

 Is this because the deliverable requires a DWG or because of outdated consultants? My best advice is to label it in AutoCAD (or whatever you're DWGing in) since annotations between Revit and DWG are a known issue.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in asia, but only slightly less well known is this! Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

It is for the Forestry Department and they require DWGs.

Yeah, I kinda figured that was the case. As such I my only recommendation is to annotate in Autocad.

How are the notes showing up? In paper space? Model Space? Are you exporting bound or xrefd?

We export to DWG all the time and do not have your problems.  I suggest you look at the translation settup.  Something is wrong there.

I have never seen a setting for annotation sizes in the translation setup. Perhaps this is a font issue? What type of font are you using?
