i am in a company that is trying to implement Revit into its work practtice, at the moment we are using autocad, i am at present tying to learn revit, try get as much involvementas i can, we have some projects for the near future.
management has suggested at one point we completly change everything to revit, which means all our 2D drawings will be done in revit. i am not sure if this can happen.
can someone tell me if what can be done in Autocad can also be done in revit, 2D drawings, i have not looked into this process yet
i have no idea, i know you can import and link in cad.
so can you start in revit just doing 2D like you would in Cad? can you purge xrefs, etc, use polylines, hatching, make blocls
can anyone advice.
or is it better to run two systems together, autocad and revit, do all 2D in autocad and all 3d done in revit?
what do other companies do, is there a standard?

If you truely accept the product and work to learn it, you will find the 2D work is even easier in Revit then it ever was in CAD. But you need to make a clean break in your thought processes. Try not to make Revit work like CAD so quit thinking about layers, xrefs and blocks. Learn about Revit's parametric families and detail families .
Learn to use the model for sections. In most sections, you may only need to add a very detail elements and modify elements using edit cut profile and the linework tool.
