In revit a CAD dwg can be either linked (xrefed) or imported. Revit creates this annoying (2) suffix sometimes. (for eg. "First floor plan.dwg (2)" ) in the VG dialog box. Here are some notes on this:
1. If an imported dwg is imported again (whether with the option view only or not), Revit2008 creates a new type of CAD Import with (2) as suffix.
2. If a linked dwg is linked again (whether with the option view only or not), Revit2008 does NOT create a new link type with (2) as suffix.
3. If a linked dwg is imported again (whether with the option view only or not), Revit2008 creates a new type of CAD Import with (2) as suffix.
Instead of reimporting the CAD file, just copying and pasting the imports (Cntrl C and Cntrl V) / links don't create a new type with (2) as suffix.
