Hello,

 I want to import dwg file (autocad 2011) which contains only property lines to revit 2009. But I always get " some elements were lost during import. ActiveX or some proprietry components cannot be imported. Try exploding the file in Autocad, or setting proxy graphics to 1."

I think the problem is the version because there was no problem before using autocad 2011 instead of autocad 2008.

Can anyone help me to achieve this?

Thank you so much in advance.

Before you import that file into Revit you must clean the file, delete all hatch, text, explode polylines and blocks then purge the file.

I Hope and I Wish to LEARN  more, and more, and more.... REVIT

Please don't consider this issue. I solved the problem.

I saved the autocad file as autocad 2007 in files of types option then Import was successful.
