I am trying to create a Revit Title Block and would like to import an autocad file into the 22 x 34 Revit Title Block so I can trace it rather than create a new one.

  When I loaded it, it gives an error message.

 Can not import proprietary components.  Try exploding, change proxygraphics to 1, and explode.  I tried this but without success.

 I have opened the visibility tab and it shows the layers have been imported but nothing shows up.

Working in 9.1

Thanks

I think the only thing you really want to import into a titleblock from AutoCAD would be the lines. You would want to use Revit's capabilities to adjust items for you in the project information part. You don't need to trace the lines though. If you explode the lines after importing, it should be fine.

I'm not sure what the proprietary components are that you are talking about though.  

Creating a new one shouldn't be that much of a job if you need to.
