When I link a dwg by origin the file comes in looking fine but in the wrong position. When I link by shared coordinates the dwg come in at the correct position but not of the lines are straight and it looks terrible. Anybody else have this issue and anybody find a work around

Hi Dande,

I came across a issue when using linked CAD files from architects. The file was inserted by shared co-ord and the dwg was an export from a non autoCAD software. Maybe Microstation.

Anyway the question i wanted to ask was whether this was occuring across the entire file or are the issues with the lines in certain instances? I found this occurred with our files when there were blocks used within the file. Also what version of REVIT are using?

 

If possible put the file up and I'll try and have a look on monday and see if i get the same issue.

It sounds like the CAD file is slightly rotated in your Revit view. That could be if someone incorrectly did the shared positioning or if your view needs to rotate slightly to align with the CAD.

Thanks for your feedback. The file is an autocad file. I'll try exploding it before I bring it in and see if that makes a difference.

DON'T explode CAD in a Revit model.  VERY BAD idea.  Always clean up CAD in a cleanup project then copy paste the corrected Revit items into your project.  Read what I suggest you do in this thread:
