Setup Lineweights for imported Autocad Dwg

[Cosmic Traveller]

Hi! Is there a simple way of setting up lineweights for an Autocad dwg file of a site plan in Revit! The plan is set @ 1:500. Should I just redraw in Revit?
Using Revit 2013 & Acad 2013
Thanks
Paul

I don't know of an "easy way" but usually if your AutoCAD layers have lineweights assigned to them, they come through pretty accurate when linking AutoCAD files.
You can adjust them after the fact too, by getting into your visibility/graphic overrides> imported catagories>[expand your file] and you can assign what ever pen number to each layer.

You can also specify a specific Revit lineweight based on your AutoCAD color (much like a .ctb file in ACAD). This is not "easy" per se, but it is a one-time process.
