Revit Structure and AutoCAD Architecture
Examines the strong integration between the two applications, and describes the benefits to architectural and structural firms using these solutions together.
Traditional structural processes begin with the architectural drawings, usually CAD-based. The structural engineering team interprets the architectural design to create an overall structural design, and then creates specialized analytical models to check the stability of the structure.
Structural construction documents are then created, and usually delivered in a CAD-based digital format. With well over 350,000 users of AutoCAD Architecture worldwide, structural engineers will find many opportunities to use Revit Structure to coordinate their design and collaborate with architects using the DWG file format or the intelligent real-world building objects from AutoCAD Architecture

Revit Structure lets firms import or link DWG files from AutoCAD® software and AutoCAD Architecture directly into Revit Structure. If the 2D CAD file is linked while being imported, it remains within Revit Structure as a backdrop and can be refreshed if the architect supplies an updated version.
The engineer would use the Manage Links option in Revit Structure to reload a new version of the architectural background. Within AutoCAD Architecture
