We have imported our civil engineers dwg file as an underlay for our site plan rather than redrawing it. The problem is that all the linetypes with a letter in it (gas, sewage, fences, etc...) do not appear and come in as a single line. I know that the linetype is not possible in revit, but isn't a CAD file just vector lines when imported? The CAD file text shows up fine. It is just these particular lines that are problematic. Any ideas of how I can tweak either the CAD file prior to import? Thanks.

The only thing i can think of
Did you set your global line scale to1 before exporting from cad
