Dear Ben,
Is there any chance to have DWG to Revit function compatible with Revit 2020 or even 2018?

[Ben]

@chinadulante - it would be difficult for us to add Revit 2020 support, as we are using new APIs exposed in Revit 2021 for Helix. Regarding 2018, since Autodesk no longer supports versions lower than 2019, it would be a challenge.

However, if this is a critical time sensitive request, the above is not impossible. We could make a separate build that’s not part of the main release via a feature sponsorship.
