From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

Never Trace AutoCAD into Revit again!

Want to save time tracing your Autodesk® AutoCAD® plans and details in Revit?

Of course, you do!

This tool works in tandem with M3dida's Portal Exporter tool for AutoCAD.

Once you have entries in the M3dida Portal, use this tool to select an entry from the M3dida Portal that you would like to bring into your Revit project. 

To bring in a plan, navigate to a plan view in Revit, and then begin the process. To bring in a detail view, navigate to a drafting view, login if you haven't already, and begin the process.

Your M3dida Portal will hold up to 10 entries. Once that number is reached, your bottom and last entry in the list will be deleted from the list.  

This tool will create placeholders in your Revit project for walls and doors.

This takes care of a lot of the leg work so you can have more time to take care of the more important things.
