Titleblock CAD importing

[Drogo_Baggins1]

I have Revit 2012.  Trying to import a titleblock from Architectural Desktop 2006.  When I follow the User Guide guidelines I get to step 3 and then this message:

"Import Geometry Not Visible
The import geometry will not be visible in the view using the current settings.
The origin of the import will be centered on the origin of the model instead. You can view the import in any view where its geometry is within the extents."

What does this mean??? The ZF command only opens up the Import CAD formats window. The original titleblock is in modelspace of the dwg file.

My thought is what you have brought in is not within the crop region or is below or above your current level - if you go to an elevation view can you see it? Make sure you do not have the view cropped.

Well - lets step back a moment- are you trying to create a new titleblock? Are you in a titleblock family? Or are in a project?

A little more info will help me to help you!

The original titleblock was in model space.  I copied it to paper space and was able to import it into Revit.

That small technicality is not mentioned at all in the User Guidelines.....
