Hello Everyone, am new to this forum - and also relatively amateur in using AutoCAD.
we have all our shop drawings in AutoCAD, one of our client wants them in Revit. I tried exporting the drawing ro revit, but there are no option available or i may be not seeing well. I am using AutoCAD LT 2015, i would love to hear from anyone a little more step by step process you know what i mean. thanks heaps!
Regards
Imran
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved by pendean. Go to Solution.
you can just give them your .dwg file
then they can do whatever they need to in Revit

Thanks for the feedback, no we are just trying to do this a gesture of goodwill - i am not sure of their capabilities when it comes to revit.
i get the point now, it is easy to import in Revit if someone needs to view dwg files.
If somebody just needs to view 2D DWG files (as LT doesn't do much of any 3D), TrueView would be a better option.
Hello,
I am an IT person working on writing tools for cost estimation. For the Revit drawings, I am be able to export the data to ODBC (access, Excel and SQL Server) to consume the drawing data. However, to export the dwg drawings I following the below steps as AutoCAD doesn't support export to ODBC and didn't see the drawing data
1. Created Revit Drawing with No template (Revit file size was 312 KB)
2. Import the DWG drawing (File Size increases to 808 KB and saved it in a new rvt file)
3. I exported to SQL using ODBC and it doesn't contain the drawing data.
Are there any extra steps before the export? Or, is there any other alternative solution to export the data to access (MDB file)?
Thank you,
Beyene
Thank you pendean! I tried it and still I couldn’t get the model data in the exported database.
I would like to export the BIM component data to an ODBC(Open database connectivity) database like Excel and MS Access. Revit supports export to ODBC.
Since it is a onetime process, I imported the dwg drawing and tried to export using Revit. However, the exported BIM data doesn’t contain data from the dwg drawing.
After linking or importing the DWG data, does Revit converts the DWG data to BIM components?
We have a 3D model created in DGN,we can export it to DWG format. But finally we need the 3D model in Revit format. Is it possible to export/convert to revit format?
hello sir, i am geeting this error could you please help me in this regard.
Dean,
Question for you....(because you've so helpful in the past),
I'm hitting you up 1st based on this post before crating a new posting on the AutoCAD & REVIT forms...
"AutoCAD is not BIM capable." This much I definitely know so, "Is there a way to update "Dumb 3D AutoCAD Blocks" with information?
In the past we simply created 3D AutoCAD's or converted existing REVIT file down to 3D AutoCAD"JUST" so we could use the part/blocks for a place holder.
This has been sort of a standard with us (or me) since 2008. Although I use REVIT, many of my customers internally, externally, and as a consultant never wanted to deal with REVIT, (some still prefer paper or PDF's).
Now, (10 years later) all of a sudden it seems as if a drawing/part, for an 1/8" wire for a mouse doesn't have the right amount of data associated with it and the energy usage of the mouse the "BIM" file is no good...
I posted this question on social media (Twitter) to several people without so much a getting a hit. As I stated earlier, I plan on creating a new posting but before going that far I was hoping to get some insight from you.
As I have said to you before (and to any other users out there) any help or information would be appreciated.
Again, "Thanks in advance"!

Milt
