I have some sheets In downloaded from AIA that are all text .dwg files. "California Green Building Standards 2019" that I want to place in Revit sheets.
Best way??
Thank You

I'd copy/paste the text into Revit text elements in a Drafting View and then place the drafting view on a sheet. Long term it is native Revit and easy to edit if necessary. You could also strip away the title block in the DWG leaving only the text and link the DWG to a drafting view and then place that on a sheet. I avoid using DWG as much as possible. All linked/imported files are vulnerable to translation issues that native Revit elements won't suffer from.

Thanks Steve,
I did it before but I just realized it was a pdf. It has since been updated from 2016 to 2019. Placed the sheets in my project template and never had to mess with them. Maybe I can find another .pdf.108331
