How to join several DWG files into one single DWG file

[Baqari]

hi everyone 

 i was wondering if i could join several DWG files into one DWG file , without COPY/PASTE tool. i have many DWG files exported from Revit and i need them to be in a single file. i do not need any Xref of linked linked files. I want to join them, just like Adobe Acrobat Reader does with PDF files. 

Thanks for your attention...

You can export from Revit into a single file - there is a check box that controls whether views on sheets and linked models are exported as external references or not.

That said, if you have an AutoCAD file with external references, the BIND command can be used to bring them into the host drawing, as "internal" block references.

No i don't want an external references, so i do not need a BIND command in AutoCAD. That checkbox in Revit means will i have in AutoCAD an external references (Xref) or not. I'm not interested in that.  In Revit i have many sheets and i would love to export them in a single file. But Revit creates a single DWG for each exported Sheet (or view, no matter). I need them in one file, so i need to know how to export from Revit all Sheets together or how to join those exported DWG files in AutoCAD Architecture..

You can use the Sheet Set Manager, or the Project Navigator to "collect" the sheets for easy access, plotting etc.

AutoCAD is not Adobe Acrobat. One file is not typically a multi-document object.  Cut and paste, xref, insert, and layout template are the only ways to combine documents AFAIK.  If you don't want the package objects, explode inserts or bind xrefs.  It seems like you are already familiar with AutoCAD's limitations though.  To collect multiple documents for plotting, sheet sets or sheet lists can be used.
