Greetings,
We are working with another office that is using Revit (and possibly AutoCAD as well), and working in the resulting DWG's is ... interesting.
They had (apparently) imported a DWG (from someone else?) to start with, and then they seem to have "traced" over that with the Revit wall, and door and window elements.
This results in duplicate lines in my DataCAD file. Some of the Revit walls are filled with white SPB solid fill; with each straight section being its own rectangle. (Sheesh!) Other Revit walls show the stud face and the GWB face - and the GWB shows even on the inside of a closed void, like say, a column enclosure.
Most of the symbols are nearly unique - which kinda' defeats the purpose of symbols. Also, there are a lot of things that are symbols that you would never make into a symbol in DataCAD. Things like a short bit of GWB, with the outline and hatch. And lots of the lines are polylines.
In short, it is a bit of a pain. But workable.
