How to create toolchest from 2D dxf files

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello,

A previous team member was able to do something that I cannot figure out. Somehow they created BB toolchest drawings based on autocad dxf files. I do not think they traced them. Does anyone know how to create scaled toolchest items that are basically 2D top views of pieces of equipment drawn in Autocad? In other words, is there a way to "import" an Autocad drawing and "convert" it to a scaled toolchest item? Many thanks in advance.

What they most likely did is create a PDF from AutoCAD with all of the symbols, and then once in Revu, used the Snapshot tool (keyboard shortcut G) to one by one create snapshot markups of each symbol, and then right click "Add to Tool Chest".
