Revit: Migrating AutoCAD Standards

- [Instructor] Welcome to this new course where we're looking at Migrating AutoCAD Standards into our Revit projects. Now you'll notice that we've got an AutoCAD drawing up on the screen. It's called Introduction.dwg. You can download this from the library if you wish. You don't need it at the moment. It's just a sample drawing to give you an idea of the sort of drawing with the standards in it that you might need to migrate across to a Revit project. So for example, if you look at the layer properties in this drawing, you'll notice that they're all set to a particular standard with a particular naming philosophy.

That's the idea of this course, to take those kind of standards into our Revit projects, and maintain those standards, obviously, as well, because a lot of projects nowadays use AutoCAD and Revit and other Autodesk products. So welcome to the course, and what we'll do is we'll work through this course showing you how to take those standards in an AutoCAD drawing or an AutoCAD project into your Revit project so that everything's consistent and standardized, and as they say, boring is good.

Once it's all standardized and boring, and everybody's doing the same thing, it actually minimizes any workflow processes and issues that might interrupt that workflow when you're creating your designs with both Revit and AutoCAD.
