I hope someone can help with this as I am under the gun here. I cannot seem to control the linetype scale of a dwg file that I am using as a background in my site plan. Lines that I want dashed will not show dashed regardless of what I set the ltscale to. How do I control the linetypes in a dwg in REvit?? TIA

Go to settings> Object styles > Imported objects, look for your autocad file and you can change the properties of individual layers till your heart's content. :)

If you explode your AutoCAD file in Revit, you can then manage the layers all from Revit. After exploding your .dwg, go to Line Styles under the Settings menu.

Thanks Danielle and Mike, I've got a handle on it now. I thought there might be a single setting that would adjust all the linestyles globally so it would look like my AutoCAD drawing. Managed to get it to look OK . Thanks,
