Hi all. I am trying to link a cad drawing and I am finding extremely difficult to make it appear.
I have checked visibility, crop region, etc, ..
Help much appreciated.
You need to read the error messages that Revit gives you, and proceed to do that. In the error message, it says that the drawing may be unloaded. Then, go to Manage Links, click on the name of the file, and click on Reload.
I saw the error but the confusion is in the manage links/cad formats/ section 5 is Loaded!
But still not appearing..
Thanks
@Anonymous Hi
Your are getting the message that it is not visible in that view because it is outside the crop region. You can do the following
OR
link the dwg using center to center instead of origin to origin
either ways...you will need to delete the multiple instances which you have already placed in your above attempts : o)
hope pe the above helps
Cheers and good luck

It's a section view and you linked the CAD file like a floor plan, placed it on one of the floor level (yellow highlighted below). Try checking the Current View only box instead:
:
Autocad DWG's are drawn in the XY plane...Revit recognizes that and it won't be shown in an XZ or YZ plane in Revit.
Insert the DWG into a Detail Item...then insert into Revit so the whole XYZ coordinate system is ignored and it is view specific.
That certainly works. The same with checking the Current View Only box, you can insert a CAD drawing directly on any view regardless of view type.
Okay... this last video shows you linking in the file with the This View Only option checked. And you did NOT get the error notification.
So it's there.
Now uncrop and view extents.
It worked with center to center but now the linked cad drawing is hidden in the background, even difficult to select it and
how do I bring it front?
Thanks
You don't bring it to the front. You set your view to Wireframe mode if you want to see through your model.
