One of the many stories we''ve heard that was meant to help us in our transition was how easily Revit worked with other CAD software''s data. since AutoCAD is a superior drafting tool it isn''t sensible to use Revit for basic drafting tasks". What about the hours of design and investigation required to decide what to draw?

A good many of us in the AEC business are familiar with the concept of using keynotes on drawings. Regardless, for us it is a system to reduce clutter on drawings by placing symbols that either carry numbers or letters or both to identify different conditions that we should look to a separate place to read more information.
