Import Text from Linked CAD file to Revit

Hi,

I am new to working with CAD+Revit+Dynamo workflow. My problem statement is to bring text from Linked CAD files and paste in Revit. I have used the “CADTextData.FromLayers” from BiMorph but for some reason it is not working. The error I receive is " Dereferencing a non-pointer" but I have checked the file and there is no null objects. Any help is much appreciated.

I referred here : https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/importing-text-from-cad-to-revit/33381/8

I am using Revit 2023 and Dynamo 2.13. Uploaded the Dynamo script & Error screenshot.

@Thomas_Mahon , @jacob.small, @david.j.foreman : Your help is much appreciated

I am not a fan of linking in cad files to generate Revit content. It bloats the files and does you no favors in terms of warnings produced.

I prefer to use Dynamo for Civil 3D and extract the geometry to a intermediate file (json) or use the data.remember node. Then bring the content back into Revit via Dynamo for Revit.
