Applies To:
- Revit Structure 2008. May apply to other versions.
Problem:
We have hundreds of standard details drawn in AutoCAD using the color dependant system. How can I imported them into Revit so the line widths show correctly?
Solution:
‘File > Import/Export Settings > Import Line Weights DWG/DXF
Here you can map a pen number line weight to a line weight in Revit. You don’t have to edit your old CAD files! Also read Importing AutoCAD old style SHX fonts into Revit
