Revit to Autocad conversion

Hi

 

Im looking to reduce the lineweights to become as thin as possible but I'm looking to evade the Visibility graphics process which is a lot of time. So i've tried importing my PDF into Autocad and from there setting the thin lines, issue is that Autocad picks up on the dimensions and lines but no the actual views with shadows. How can i transfer raster images across

Unfortunately there is no shortcut to this problem. 

you need to create a conversion set template for line weights, line styles, line types and categories to layers from Revit to AutoCAD. PDFs will never be a usable solution and will most likely create more time fixing things than actually setting up your conversion set template.

on AutoCAD is there the not the option to import the PDF with its views? I can see on AutoCAD that you can import the PDF and reduce lineweights automatically, but the views arent coming through

the PDF method is typically used to trace a pdf into AutoCAD and create a new AutoCAD drawing file.

I would not recommend that technique as a final approach
