# Is there a plan for integrating autocad DWG files into BIM 360, for direct use by Revit?

We would like to be able to link AutoCAD DWG files into Revit, using BIM 360, without the need for additional software (desktop connector).

You can insert directly cad(manger links or inset from   ribbon ) ,no A360/BIM 360 option is available

Thanks Bill, but that is dependent on the Desktop Connector.
There is no "BIM 360" option for linking CAD files in the file browsing window, until Desktop Connector has been installed (and even then it's buried under the username).

I'd like to not need to install/update/maintain additional software on all our computers, just to be able to link in a site survey...

In the Document Management tab, there is a "Upload Files" button. Upload the AutoCAD file there. You then link it in to the model in BIM 360 Design. In Trevi: Link CAD....choose BIM360 in browser....path to where the CAD file is.
