I'm starting to archive earlier projects.  As the office was transitioning from AutoCAD to Revit there are many linked and imported cad dwgs in our revit models.   The linked I can find listed easily in the files, the Imported not so easily.   We need to put all the files used to creat the Revit model together in the archives...  can anyone help on how to get a list of the imported cad files (some brought in as symbols) in a revit model?

You should break this habit as soon as possible.   Imported CAD, especially in families, is almost impossible to find and is a real drag on project size.  Perhaps you should have a seperate folder for these files and insist that users place them there before importing.  << I say don't import!

Here is an ADD-IN that they say will find your CAD:  https://apps.autodesk.com/RVT/en/Detail/Index?id=2426670700492076255&appLang=en&os=Win32_64
