I am having a heck of a time here, at one point I got a large general structural notes file to import into my first drawing sheet.

Now I can't seem to get the second page of them to import. I keep getting an error about proxy graphics and some junk about them being lost but I don't understand how that applies to me.

 I took all elements out of paperspace thinking this would help because it usually seems to just import the title block I can easily insert this item into a drafting view but that isn't what I'd like to do.  I would like to take it straight into the sheet.

 This is starting to frustrate me because it seems really simple and is giving me a tough time.

 Please help.

The Error Reads:

Some elements were lost during import. ActiveX and some proprietary components can not be imported.  Try exploding the file in Autocad, or setting PROXYGRAPHICS to 1.

 my proxygraphics are set to 1 and i don't know if I want to explode my drawing.........it's mostly just text

is it a text compatability issue?

I don't like "importing" any AutoCAD files into Revit.  Lots of junk comes along with them.  Try "linking" them instead by checking "link" box upon insertion.

 Better yet, if all you have is real text, simply go into mtext editor in ACAD, select all of it and paste into a Revit as text.
