Very easily and well.
Drafting Views. Link the AutoCAD drawings / Details as individual
'x-ref's into corresponding Drafting Views within Revit, and then
place those drafting views on the sheets. You can then reference those
Drafting Views with Section tags, Detail tags, and Callout tags so
that the 'live' Revit tags point to those Drafting Views with your
existing DWG info, which is linked into Revit like an X-ref. It's like
2004/2005's sheet sets, except that it works and is automatically
handled for you. ;)
OK, so then, you use Revit to manage the set and the sheet numbers and
the tags and such, and for the majority of the building drawing
(plans/sections/elevations/ect) and then you can use all your existing
DWG details (and AutoCAD users detailing) in Revit too. While it would
be faster (and look better) to detail within Revit than in AutoCAD,
this allows your whole team to work together today, as others get more
up to speed with Revit.
Also you can simply import DWG info into a Family to create quick
Revit content.
Also there is a tool that lets you publish and acquire coordinate
systems between Revit & AutoCAD to keep projects that are being done
in both (i.e. sitework in AutoCAD, Building in Revit)...
I could go on and on....
