Importing CAD Files Using i-drop

Revit LT supports the Autodesk i-drop® drag-and-drop feature. When i-drop objects are pulled from an i-drop–enabled web page, Revit LT downloads the file and imports it as if it were pulled from a local file.

When you drag-and-drop a file, the file is imported with the default settings. If you want to use different settings (for example, Manual - Origin rather than Auto - Center to Center), import the file using the Import CAD tool. (See Importing or Linking CAD Files Using the Import CAD and Link CAD Tools.)

To import CAD files using i-drop

1. From an i-drop–enabled web page, click the thumbnail image of the object.
2. Drag the file from the web page into Revit LT.
3. Release the object directly into the active view.
