I use Point Manager lisp to extract the data

I've reconfigure the CAD drawing to make the point read the Z value. Also I move the UCS position closer to the property line point so Revit is able to accept the value. See attached.

One last question, how did you manage to reconfigure the CAD drawing

Since the point don't have Z value, I use this LISP routine to translate the text to points. Then use point manager and it will translate to Revit.
