Can some one tell me if any functionality of Revit Arch is compromised if Autocad is also NOT installed along side? For example, if I had to import a topo map dwg file to convert to terrain, can I do the whole thing in Revit or do I need Autocad to strip the file of elements such as annotations, cross sections, title blocks etc. I am trying to decide if the extra cost of the suite is justified if I don't need to use Autocad. Or to ask it another way, what are the situations where you cannot do without Autocad. TIA, bakki

They are bascially giving you "plain" Autocad 2008 for free. and no, you do not need Autocad to run Revit.

Basic manipulation of AutoCAD files is fine within Revit- even controlling visibility of ACAD layers. If you're going to do much heavy editing of original ACAD files- then a copy of ACAD would be good. But in my humble opinion- the sooner you can make the jump onto solely Revit, the better.

I am with a firm that relies heavily on AutoCad and are just beginning to rely on Revit. We are on Autodesk subscription and by purchasing the suite we get another Autocad license to install along with the Revit. It actually cost less to purchase the two programs together than to purchase them seperate. As for functionality I would have to agree with the above posts, It is not necessary to have AutoCad installed to efficiently work in Revit. That is what makes this program so great.

when i upgraded to Revit from ADt there was no differnce in cost to go with the Suite as oppose to just Revit alone. if that is the case still, then why not. i no longer have a license for Autocad Architecture, but i have Revit and Autocad if i need it.
