Why not ex****t from Revit to DWG, to send to your MEP consultants?

There already is a Revit Series that is Revit and AutoCAD. Since the new
AutoCAD 2005 no longer needs object enablers to read ADT drawings, your
ADT
people can still work on drawings that Revit Series can read. I would
keep
ADT out of the Series. No need for it.

Really, they do play well tegether now. Look into the Revit Series. You
buy Revit, and get a seat of AutoCAD only a few hundred bucks. Can't beat
it. Plus, its on subscription, so you will get all the updates.
