Hi all,

this might be a beginners problem however hopefully this will then be easy for some of you to help me with!

I am setting up a new Revit project and am linking in DWG files that I have set to UCS World coordinates in Autocad.

In Autocad they stack up in the same location but when linked into Revit at Origin to Origin setting they are slightly off from each other.

Does anyone have any clues to why this happens??

Thank you!

While I don't know why they don't align the same, I will say that origin in Revit is very different than CAD. There was a very good article in an AUGI publication a couple of years ago that helps explain how Revit's origin works.

 

Shared coordinates is the best way to control linking.
