Revit CAD Export Layers to Uniclass 2015

As part of my organisations move towards BIM level 2 i needed to address the way our layers were named when we export CAD files from our Revit models.  Firstly, nobody has ever complained that our layer names were not Uniclass 2015 standard, however, our internal layer naming system seemed to have no standard basis and i wanted a suitable standard for drawings we were producing purely in CAD. The AEC have produced a comprehensive document which explains how to name layers in AutoCAD, for those interested this can be found here  https://aecuk.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/aecukprotocolforlayernaming-v4-0-2.pdf . So... on to the revit export update, i thought, this will be easy, i'll simply visit  https://toolkit.thenbs.com/articles/classification/ , download the .txt file for use in Revit and simply adapt the lineweights to suit our standard and i'll be done!  However, despite an extensive web search i was unable to locate a standard txt file conversion for Revit to Uniclass 2
