Its all good, I insert the PDF in an autocad .dwg.. save the drawing and import it into Revit. Works like a charmLeave a comment:

There are several PDF file converters on Internet, most part a those converters are free, but for some of those you must pay, personally I use PDF to DWG converter with good results, some drawbacks are that all the lines are just lines (Not Polylines) and all objects share an unique layer, I know is not a comfortable scenario but IMHOP is much more accurate that PNG's or JPG's, regardsLeave a comment:

Yep, that is what I ended up doing. Use the new insert PDF function in AutoCAD, and then save it as a .dwg.. then add the link into Revit, works like a charm

Well, that is something new! I just checked it out. It's been awhile since i've been working on acad --- and up until last week i only had v2015 installed -- so i had no idea they added this functionality. Nicely done Autodesk. (Still doesn't make me want to work in autocad though).Originally posted by NAILZ7 View PostLeave a comment:

I haven't done this much but when I have I've converted to a png (a lossless file format, in comparison to jpeg which can create more artifacts) and then imported into Revit, adjusting the size until I've got it at the correct scale.

scaling an illustrator converted dwg in revit itself is more precise I foundLeave a comment:

If your PDF is saved as vector you can export from illustrator as dwg, scale and link into Revit. Hackish but no worse than any other option given so far.Leave a comment:

I had to work while taking Percocet last year. I now judge worst case scenario for drafting based on what I was doing. No matter how good the translation from one software to the next might be, the drafter may not be all there. Mistakes can and will happen. If anybody is going to make a goof I'd rather be the one to take the blame than to try to pass the buck onto the software.Leave a comment:

The problem is not your lack of drafting skills. It's the incompetent dim tool.Originally posted by DavidLarson View PostLeave a comment:
