CAD drawings view on multiple Sheet

I have a linked CAD file that i have laid out multiple schedules, but want them to show on different sheets in Revit. Would I need to split them up into multiple Linked CAD or can I just adjust the drawing view on the sheet to only show a certain area from the drawings view (Will having part of the drawing view not within the sheet boundary cause problems for me)?

If the cad file is linked into a Drafting view, then you'd have to split the schedules out on to separate files and link each one in separately. 
The other option is to link the dwg into a plan view and create dependent views for each schedule.

Why not use Revit schedules in the model?

Currently my employers are using CAD schedules and linking them in. I am trying to convince them to switch the company into Revit Schedules but that is a work in progress. I just didn't think that linking the 5 schedules individually was always the best way due to possibly having to update multiple CAD and instead only wanted to update 1.

 

If you refer to image I attached to this, I like having one CAD but was not sure if leaving a much of the cad off the Title Block for my sheets would mess a bunch of stuff up. My title block surrounds the part of the Linked CAD I want to be printed on title block but then on my next sheet I would duplicate except move the title block to next CAD section I want shown. 

 

My employers say it doesn't work or can cause issue, but they were not convincing me their way is best.

When you said schedues I was thinking that you meant tables of information but your image looks more like a schematic.
