Is this a good use for AutoCAD? batch DWG import

I have a Revit project with a lot of curved geometry and DWG exports have much better linework quality than the revit vector print. 

 

I can bring the DWG into illustrator to easily verify the quality is much higher. But I lose all of my line styles, as they get imported to AI with the CAD default colors assigned to the layers, requiring a lot of extra work to select layers and change the color back to black, etc. 

 

I am wondering if I can import the DWG plans into AutoCAD and batch update the layer display styles.

I think this is a matter of display on the screen, not settings.
If this is a dwg format, then nothing changes when importing.
And for batch import, use the "AutoImportCAD" program

thanks for the input but turns out I can change the export settings in revit 😉
