To import a AutoCAD drawing as a family you will can check the \Revit 2015 SDK\Samples\FamilyCreation\DWGFamilyCreation sample (please download the SDK from www.autodesk.com/developrevit)

Please note this is a simple import, the drawing will come as a solid, not a parametric element. Also, this is valid for .dwg files.

Sham,

The code is:
Document.Import(....)
And you need the .dxf file name and the DWGImportOptions configured (or null will assume default values).

From inside Revit you cannot read the original .DXF information, the file will be imported as a single solid.

Have you tried manually import this .dxf? The API will mimic the UI behaviour.
