Hi All. Using Revit 2008. Importing a CAD file from AutoCAD 2008.

All of the arcs degrade, one the drawing is in Revit. Please see attached:

Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks for your help.

Looks like a scaling problem to me.
I'd guess the original DWG is either really big or really small and your endpoints are getting rounded off.
One other possiblity is that the DWG is WAY far away from the origin.. In ACAD, draw a line from 0,0 & see where is points. Then erase that line and move everything closer to 0,0

Nope, thats a dwg that is too far away from 0,0,0. open the dwg and move everything closer to 0,0,0

I should upload the fantastic ghosting of walls and roofs when the Revit model itself is 19.6 miles from the origin. Oy...
