I am using Revit 2009.  I have been using Revit for several years...seasoned I would say...single person firm.  I had a fellow architectural firm ask if I could help get them through a deadline.  I've checked out what they want me to do and it should be no problem.  I know I can do the work if I can get the technology worked out.  I know Revit, I don't know Autocad.

So, they had done a roof plan and quite a few details in Autocad.  What I want to do is import several sheets of the project, the roof plan w/ title block and then several detail sheets.  I want to add text to the plan and then draw some of the details (some I can cut and paste and add information to them.)  Then when I am done, I need to be able to export the sheets to Autocad so they can add the sheets to their set and have a Autocad file.  Using Revit more like drafting in 2D.)

It seems like it should be doable, but I didn't find much in my search in the forums.  I am now dreading I made a promise that isn't doable. 

Any help or direction to tutorials or even if you said that I am crazy and not to try to do it...
