Working with Files from Other Applications
Revit files are not the only type of files that you can link into your project.
The Revit platform is compatible with many types of CAD formats as well.
As you move into using a BIM solution for your projects, try to use CAD files
as little as possible. A large number of linked CAD files in your project can
cause the project file to perform poorly. Choose the files that will save you
