Revit uses fonts installed in your computer.

Make sure you save the custom settings as a separate file. However, if you use a “CTB”, where a color corresponds to a pen weight, you can easily create a custom mapping in Revit. If you use “Line Weight” settings to correspond to a layer, Revit will maintain the “Line Weights”. Similarly, Revit fonts can be mapped to those in Revit. These settings can maintain “Line Weights” to match your AutoCAD CTB file.

Few Settings in Revit can save you a lot of time.

Make sure you remove these so you have a clean DWG to import.

Your original files may contain unwanted layer of elements on hidden layers.

Naming each of these views sensibly saves time in the long run as you would be able to quickly identify them right in the project browser without opening each one. Name each drafting view similar to the detail name you’re importing. In addition, when you import individual details into Revit Drafting View, each of these Drafting Views relates to one detail.

Your source DWG file may contain multiple details in Model Space.
