I am designing an apartment building in Revit. This project must be correctly located in a large masterplan. When importing the Autocad property lines into Revit, the program refuses to import "origin to origin" and insists on placing it "center to center". When exporting the building from Revit, no matter the placement within the file, the building ends up in the same place (the wrong place) in the Autocad file. Can anyone help me figure out how to get the file to place to the correct coordinates in Autocad?

Thanks for the post!! I am definitely a lot closer to my answer. The problem is that once everything is set in Revit and I export the file back into Autocad, the building is still way off mark. The coordinates match from the original Autocad file to the Revit file, but once the Revit file is exported back to Autocad then I loose the alignment. Is there anything I can do about this? I am outside of the 1 mile radius, so I figure, maybe, this is most of my problem.

OK, so after some trial and error with the exporting options, I have gotten it to work! Change the "coordinate system basis" in the options to "shared" and it lands in the correct place in Autocad. Thanks for the help!
