(Beginner) Placing Revit families at the location of an imported AutoCAD blocks location

I am trying to get AutoCAD blocks from a linked .dwg file to place in Revit in the same locations, with the respective Revit Family in their place. I made a video on Youtube since I figured that would take less time than trying to layout all of what I am trying to do through Dynamo.
Basic sum-up of this:

  1. I would like to be able to select the CAD link (already done)
  2. Then have blocks populate in a list (done), that then divides down to per type with coordinates of all instances of each type (need some input/help).
  3. And then have an option to either select the Revit family that goes in their place one by one (recommendations please).
  4. Or use an Excel spreadsheet to populate type based on CAD to Revit type names (Videos or nodes to look into for this).

Thank you in advance for any help with this.

Below is the link to the video I uploaded.

Use a spreadsheet unless you know how to make WPF forms. There isnt an interface for that type of thing in Dynamo as it comes.
