Read 'ElementTypes' from Revit to CAD

[Anonymous]

I have exported DWG file from Revit and I opened it in CAD.

I'm trying to make a lisp in CAD that change a layer color to match the CAD exporting settings in Revit.

I've used the XData in the layer's lines to get the Type ID from it.

Now I want to get this type color from Revit to apply it to the CAD Layer.

I think if I can read all BuiltinCategories in Revit, I can do that.

How can I do that, although I can't use RevitAPI with CAD?

Maybe a better option would be to setup a standard for exporting from Revit DWG files so that the Colors of Layers are set properly.  You can read up on this on the following link:
