Import text AutoCAD Content Into Revit

[Anonymous]

I am trying to import specific information from Auto cad into Revit .  Whether I use the link method or the import method I seem to only get the title block sheet.  I need to get is done today so the faster you can respond to me the better.  Please note I am not very skilled in Auto cad 

 Thank you

It sounds like you are trying to link it directly to a sheet. Try linking it to a view and place that view on a sheet. (Avoid importing.)

Either way I only get the title block. I would prefer to import as this is
to be a standard sheet in Revit

I am only getting the title block.  When I import from Revit.  Also I need specific steps I have not done this before.  Thank you for your prompt response

In theory, that sounds good to beginners. It is not a best practice, especially for standard content that will be used in the future. Create it from scratch using the linked .dwg as a guide.

Again whether importing or linking I only get the Title block

Where are you trying to do this, a sheet or a view? As I stated before, link it to a view that will be placed on a sheet. I use drafting views for this, but please follow my previous advice. You will be happier for it later.

No need to repeat yourself over and over again. I understand and think I know what is happening. You could try deleting all the layouts from the .dwg that you are linking.

I under stress sorry. I opened up a drafting view and got some information
imported not what I wanted though. I don't see any Import view tab or box
to check. I am in what I think the call paper space

[RobDraw]

You are going to have to be more specific and stop importing.

What do have?

What do you want?

Include screen shots and/or files.

Capture is what I want. Capture 2 is what I got.

[Anonymous]

This is what I want ( Capture)

This is what I get ( Capture 2 ) 

And I can't  manipulate it

[RobDraw]

You're over-complicating it!

Just do it in Revit and get it over with.

How?

[RobDraw]

Create a drafting view and add text. If you need more detailed response, you will need to ask your BIM manager or whoever is in charge of all things Revit.

[Anonymous]

Small firm no BIM Manager

[RobDraw]

Not skilled in AutoCAD or Revit, what kind of firm is this?!!!

Can anybody there run either of these programs?

What are using for resources and/or training?

I'd be glad to help, but it's not going to be free.

I am very skilled in building new buildings in Revit . Never used Auto cad.
Never had to export information from Auto cad into Revit.



Thank you I will figure it out myself. I don't appreciate the attitude

[RobDraw]

Sorry, but I call them the way I see them. You never said that you were experienced. Any attitude that you are seeing is you inserting it. If someone doesn't know how to create a drafting view and add some annotation, I will always assume they are not experienced and have not had proper training. This is very basic stuff and there are plenty of resources for learning.

I tried to point you in the right direction more than once, but you refused to accept it.

Good luck.

@Anonymous: Is it just the AutoCAD text you're trying to capture and use in Revit? If so, just copy and paste to and from the clipboard, and format text to a TTF in Revit.
