# Power Convert Using the Power Convert tool is a four-step process: 1. Select the DWG file you want to convert. You can select imported or linked files. 1. ![](/files/n0cU9RJfzy7FiBpwQiZr) 2. Once you select the DWG file, the second dialog will list the file’s layers. Only layers containing elements will be shown. 1. 3. Select the Revit line type. You can convert the DWG to Revit detail lines, model lines, area boundaries, room separation lines, or space separation lines. 4. For each layer, specify the Revit line style to which you wish to convert it. If you do not want to convert a particular layer, leave that layer blank. The tool will skip over all layers that are not assigned a line style. 5. Click the OK button to convert the DWG. NOTE: Power Convert does not convert DWG text to Revit text. The Revit API cannot read DWG text. You will need to add your text and dimensions manually in Revit. Similarly, the tool will convert leaders and dimension strings but not the text associated with those elements. Hatch patterns in the DWG file will be converted to Revit lines, not fill patterns. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
