I'm using Revit 2010. As a relatively new Revit user I'm trying to figure out how to best import or duplicate things like General Notes, General Specs, etc. from Autocad into Revit. I'd like to have them available in my library for repeated use, and also placed into my project templates. Thanks!

Put the text into legends. You can copy those between files.

I opened up an Autocad drawing, highlighted a block of text (General Notes), then tried pasting them (Ctrl-C) into a newly created Legend. Nothing seems to have happened. What step(s) am I missing?

You need to paste them into a text box in Revit. Copy the ACAD to clipboard, then start the text command in Revit, then CTRL V to paste.

You can also import them lt like a cad file then explode in revit or leave it just like a block

Don't do that Carrucha, do it just like Tom and WWhub said, simple, copy/paste, nothing more....

Thank you... that worked just fine. Next question: the text is one continuous column. What is the easiest way to break it into multiple columns? In ACAD I'd just create multiple vports.

Not sure what 2011 has to offer here but there are some more text editing options. We just do multiple text windows. I try to make sure though that each column is one window... in other words it has paragraph returns, not multi text boxes stacked.

Are you saying that for example, if I want my General Notes to appear as five columns of text, my General Notes legend would then have five text windows, one for each column of text?
