Thanks for your assistance on this matter.
Welcome to the Revit World! Good luck!
Number 5 should be at the top of your list, and the answers (plural) depend on how your how you presently coordinate with them. But, "seamless" is not an adjective I would be using.
when we first started using Revit, a coworker imported cad details into draftings views. the only issue with that is all the layers, linetypes, etc. from autocad are not part of the model and its hard to clean them out. Best is to link the cad files and trace over them. If you do import, make sure all linetypes, layers, etc. are on 1 layer that one can remove later after converting to revit linetypes.

Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it is a good idea. Revit has gotten better in this aspect but I still wouldn't recommend it unless you are fully aware of the implications of doing so.
Actually, you quoted me out of context. What I said was:
“I think @htews was specifically referring to exploding behavior. Nothing wrong with importing CAD; I do it frequently.”
Since @juan_briones is planning to switch from AutoCAD to Revit, he can benefit from Revit’s ability to import and explode his existing AutoCAD content towards creating his Revit content from it. Nothing wrong with that workflow; if you do it right.
If you miss the nail head and hit your finger with the hammer, doesn’t mean the hammer was the wrong tool. ![]()
Cheers.
