Problems with Linked AutoCAD Files
We're just getting into Revit Structure (we have the latest build: 20070607_1700) and because of time constraints of the project we decided to handle the typical details in AutoCAD ( v2008 ) and link them into Revit. That is where we are running into a number of problems. I have attached 3 screenshots: "cad" is the print preview of the actual CAD file and "link1" & "link2" are of the actual link showing in Revit. I have indicated the 4 items on the screenshots.
-------------------------------
Ellipses: the hatch patterns are showing up as solid in some of the details we link in to Revit (link1), but not all of them (link2).
Rectangles: text that is underlined in CAD (%%u) is missing the underline once linked into Revit.
Arrows: the nice even spacing between the text and the line in CAD is gone in the link when the text gets shifted up.
Yellow highlighting: all of the text in CAD has apparently had the width factor changed once linked into Revit.
-------------------------------
Are others experiencing any of these issues? Are there any settings, fixes, etc., for either AutoCAD or RST2008 that will solve these things? Is it just my inexperience?
It really makes the linking of CAD files a useless excercise and makes our drawings totally unacceptable & unprofessional. How would anybody feel if we sent our structural drawings to you like this?
PLEASE - somebody shed some light on this for me. Many thanks in advance.
