Once you have established the settings for export, clicking the Next button
allows you to browse to the location for the exported CAD file(s). The check
box at the bottom of the window creates separate DWG files for each view
that is on a sheet when you're exporting Revit sheets. You can specify a
prefix to the names of the files and also the file type, as shown in

Export file naming options
The option to export sheets or views to DWF works in the same way as
exporting to CAD, except additional options are available because of the
capabilities of a DWF file to report element properties. In the DWF Export
Settings dialog box, the DWF Properties tab allows you to export the
properties of your Revit model elements and to access print settings prior
to export. The Project Information tab gives you direct access to the project
information contained in your Revit project. You can edit the parameters in
this dialog box to update any project information, such as issue date, prior
to export.
