I apologise for yet another thread on the subject of shared coordinates, but despite my searches I can't see a similar query so here goes... Firstly, all is working well with our shared coordinates; our models export to .dwg in the correct place, our consultants' .dwgs all come into our models in the correct place, all of that works. BUT. Our contractor has requested we include key spot coordinates in our GAs - and we've hit a snag. When using the Revit spot coordinate tag we're getting nowhere near the same easting northing as we do when querying the same spot in in the .dwg file. In each of our models the variance is different, suggesting the tag is reading something relative to the model, not the collective world origin - but the tag properties state (in gray out) that they're reading "Shared" - but something's not right. I'm really quite opposed to the proposed "solution" to do the coordinates in a new .dwg then link that in under our models' plan views (or worse, manually duplicate them as dumb faked annotative items in Revit) Any ideas which step we may have missed?

I don't know if this is the problem but it could be. The spot coordinate that we have defaults to the project units. I would check the units on the spot tag and if it is defaulted to project units, then compare that to the other models. I am also very sure that the units in any DWG are probably even finer yet.
