Import lineweights

[sissela]

I am trying to import CAD details into my project and I went throught changing the pen type settings and there is still a few issues.

1. My CAD details have screened lines. There is no option for screened lines on the pen type settings. Is there a work around for this?

I understand that by "screened" you are referring to soft gray tones for your lines. If that is correct, try this:

Type VG > Imported Categories > Select the name of the imported dwg, and expand it > Select the row that correspond to the layer that you want to modify > under "Lines", specify a new color, maybe a light gray from the color palette.

Thank you so much. I changed the existing lines to a gray and they now look screened.

I have one more question. The font in the detail changed. Can I change the font to match my drawing font?

Revit uses Windows True Type Fonts.

So ONLY fonts that are installed in C:\Windows\Fonts will be used by Revit.

If you can find a TT Font that matches your font from cad, install it in C:\Windows\Fonts
and then Revit can use it.
