I would like to import or link a CAD file I have into Revit 2016
When I click the respective buttons under the Insert tab the screen all buttons become greyed out and clicking anywhere on the screen creates a standard 'error sound'. The only way to exit this state is to press ESC.
When I use any of the other Link/Import options a browse window appears that allows me to choose the file to insert. My issue with inserting CAD happens at the point when this browse window would appear. (It is not appearing)
I have tried restarting my computer, using different files (both new and old) and have just uninstalled and reinstalled Revit and am having the same issue.
I should possibly add that Revit itself would not uninstall through conventional means. After browsing the Forums for help I had to download a third party software to force uninstall Revit. (The only accepted solution shown on Autodesk forums for this issue.) I reinstalled using Virtual Download Manager - The first time it stalled on content libraries, the second time it was unable to initialise. I was able to install on the third try.
Upon reinstalling I no longer have access to templates such as architectural or construction and my original issue of being unable to link or import CAD remains.
Any guidance on this matter would be appreciated.
(Wiping my laptop and starting fresh is unfortunately not an option at this point in the semester)
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
