I apologize if a similar posting of mine shows up somewhere, I could not find it after submitting it!
I am reviewing a white paper titled Autodesk Revit Interoperability with CAD and documenting the procedure to add to Office CAD Manuals.
The basis is to export the views needed so to create AutoCAD DWG of the views, then x-reference the views into new drawings with titlesheet. then add more linework, dimensions and annotations. Then the drawings can be plotted out of AutoCAD.
I am having a problem with the last part where the drawing can be re-referenced back into Revit to either show new AutoCAD linework over the relevant view with overlay option in the host file set. Or with with attachment option set for using as a mens to cross checking the drawing against the model.
When linking the AutoCAD file back into Revit nothing is showing. But when opening a drafting view i can link the drawing into the model and have it show.
Does anyone have this issue? I have used the procedure to link site plans into the drafting view and add to the cover sheet with good success.
But getting the drawings to show over the Model's plan view just isn't working as outlined in the White paper.
Thanks,
David
