I have just started a new project and I have come across a problem which I cannot get my head around. I have linked in a cad file into my new project which I got from the architect into a project north view which gives me this message:

‘’This project and the linked file do not share the same coordinate system. The link’s world coordinates will be aligned with this projects shared coordinates.’’ Which is fine.My problem is the linked cad file comes into my PROJECT NORTH VIEW as it would look in true north. I need the linked cad file to be rotated to project north but im struggling 

Can anyone tell me what the correct procedure to set this up properly ? Apologies if I sound confusing, I hope the attachment helps.Thanks

I don't quite understand.  So your Revit project north is different than the AutoCAD project north?  Once you link the file in why not just click on it and rotate it to the orientation that is needed?

personally, I'd just rotate the cad, grid intersection to grid intersection, and pin it.
