5. Navigate back to the Insert tab, select Link CAD, and select the file
Ch5-ElevationNorth.dwg
. Use the Auto - Center To Center
positioning option, and ensure that Orient To View is checked.
6. Notice that the elevation drawing, while orientated in the correct plane,
is not in the correct location with respect to the levels and grids. Use the
Align tool to correct this, aligning Level 1 with 01-Entry Level and Grids
1, as shown in
Figure 5.9

7. One other thing to notice is that the existing levels do not share the
same name as the linked DWG. Select the Level 1 line and click the blue
highlighted name of the level. Change this to match the DWG, and do
the same for level 2. Revit then asks if you would like to rename
corresponding views. Click Yes, as shown in
Figure 5.10
