If I am understanding you correctly, you want to import a dwt file into revit that has your titleblock on it?
If so, try importing a dwg with the title block on it. Sorry if I am miss understanding.

Just some guidelines.
I'd only import the dwg to use as an element to sketch over using revit lines. Don't explode it. Use it then delete it out of the titleblock.
Make sure you have current view only ticked when importing the dwg. What error message are you receiving?

Check you have the appropriate scale when importing. If you zoom right out and do a window selectiong does it select the dwg?

jyothi,
Firstly, in order for you import a dwf file you have 8.1. and you need to load the markup instead of importing... What you are looking for to do so is in the import menu at the bottom....
RE:DWG
I had a simiilar situation happen. Here's a couple of things to try...
#1- Mr. Spot is right, what you want to do is check the scale of the title block in ACAD. Best thing to do for novice CAD users is to paste or put the title block in Paper space. If the title block is in paper space you have a good idea of it's "real" dimensions. Next scale it, explode it then import that into a title block tempate in revit (.rte). I have found that sometimes revit will not except nested blocks, attributes very well, and there's other times were it has. Use the cad title block as a reference to trace.
#2- Another option is to check your importing properties ensure they are set to the right scale. Often times - Revit will not "automatically scale your dwg correctly" I would just tell it to import in inches in the import dialogue menu. Once it is in and you don't see it, zoom out as far as possible and select the whole area (cross select). Check your filter and see if you have the dwg selected and immediately go to scale. If the scales are off it may be too small for you to have seen and needed to rescaled.
Hope one of these options help you...
Let us know if you resolved it and what worked...
Shaun
