Comparison criteria
L-01.1Four criteria decide when you choose a tool for working in Hebrew: does it work inside Revit, does it require AutoCAD, is the price visible, and which Revit years are supported. Anything not checked is marked "Not checked".
| Tool | Works inside Revit | Needs opening AutoCAD | Price visible | Revit years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VIT DWG Editor | Yes | No need to open it | Yes, on the pricing page | In the compatibility table |
| General Revit tools (scripting, visual programming, visualization) | Yes | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| Other plugins that fix Hebrew | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
The list
L-01.2VIT DWG Editor is a tool in the Vitruvius plugin. It fixes gibberish, unreadable characters and reversed Hebrew in DWG links, with one click inside Revit and without opening AutoCAD. The fix is written to the link's DWG file, and a backup of the original file is saved before every fix. The buttons are Fix Text, Restore Text, Apply CTB and Edit Layers.
Revit also has general tools: environments for building tools with scripts, visual programming environments for automation, and plugins for real-time visualization and rendering. These are important tools, and they are not presented here as a substitute for fixing Hebrew in a DWG link. Other plugins that fix Hebrew exist too, and their capabilities were not checked here.
A comparison between VIT DWG Editor and the tools that run in AutoCAD is in the article on VIT DWG Editor, other plugins or a manual fix (Hebrew only for now).
Manual routes without a plugin
L-01.3Broken Hebrew can be handled without a plugin. One way is to explode the text into lines through DXB in AutoCAD and link the file again. Another is to attach a PDF as an underlay in Revit. Both work for a small file, and both break when the consultant sends an updated drawing, because the manual fix is repeated with every update.
The details of each route are in fixing it without opening AutoCAD.
What still needs verifying
L-01.4The facts about third-party tools were not verified against their own websites, so they are marked "Not checked".

Frequently asked questions
L-01.5Which plugin fixes reversed Hebrew in a DWG link inside Revit?
VIT DWG Editor, a tool in the Vitruvius plugin, fixes reversed Hebrew and gibberish in a DWG link with one click inside Revit. It does not open AutoCAD, it writes the fix to the link's DWG file, and it saves a backup of the original file before every fix. You can restore at any time.
Do I need to open AutoCAD to fix Hebrew in a DWG link?
You do not need to open it. With VIT DWG Editor the fix runs inside Revit, and AutoCAD only has to be installed on the computer. Manual routes, such as exploding through DXB, mean opening AutoCAD and linking the file again. The choice depends on the file size and on how often the consultant sends a new version.
Which Revit versions are supported?
VIT DWG Editor supports the Revit versions in the compatibility table. For other tools, the supported versions are set by each vendor and were not checked here. Before installing, check with each vendor the version you work in, and confirm it again after every Revit update.
Do general Revit tools fix Hebrew in a DWG link?
These are general tools built for other purposes: scripting, visual automation and visualization. They appear here briefly, not as a dedicated solution for Hebrew in a DWG link. If you have that need, VIT DWG Editor was built for exactly it, and the capabilities of the other tools were not checked.
What if the file is small and has little text?
For a small file with few labels and one-time use, a manual route may be enough. When the consultant keeps sending updated drawings, every manual fix breaks and is redone, and that is where a tool saves time. It is worth estimating how many updates to expect before you choose.
