I keep getting this message after publishing coordinated and trying to save:

YOU CANNOT SAVE THE LINK BECAUSE IT CHANGES IN MORE THAN JUST SHARED COORDINATES, WHICH CAN INVALIDATE LOCAL FILES OWNED BY YOU

I've had this happen before and usually meant that there was a linked CAD file in the linked model. However, this isn't the case. I have no links what so ever, and a perfectly clean model created from a detach copy. The model has been reloaded and is current. I also have deleted all the local files but it still isn't working. Any other ideas as to why this is not working correctly? I'm stuck.

Thanks.

any imported cad files hidden on plans anywhere? Ideate explorer is an addin that can find hidden ones.

That was a good suggestion. I used explorer and deleted a CAD import, But....the file still disallows the coordinates to be changed. What else could be causing this problem?

Just some suggestions, but its not an error I have yet to deal with. I try to avoid having multiple same-discpline revit models and very much avoid trying to use autocad files. Good luck.

1) Go to Manage Links and check to see if there is any Revit files there. If so remove them and purge three times or until purge results in 0.

2) Go to Manage Links and check to see if there is any DWG files there. If so remove them and purge three times or until purge results in 0.3) If not purge three time or until purge results in 0.4) Can you ignore the message?5) Download the latest Revit updates from Autodesk.

Thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately, that does not advanace a solution to the issue I'm having. There's some other glitch occuring that invalidates these other procedures. I cannot ignore the error and there is nothing I can see that should be causing it. Are there any other reasons why this model is failing to take on the coordinates? I'm completely stumped and I don't want to venture into glitch territory if that is this case.

Another suggestion I tried from a co-worker was to acquire the coordinates in reverse - Link the Site coordination file into the misbehaving file, move into the desired position, and then acquire the coordinates. This seems to get around what I can only assume at this point is a corruption in the file preventing it from having the coordinates published. Still not clear why Revit messed this up, but at least there was this workaround. Yikes. Thanks for the suggestions and if if anything else comes to mind to solve the issue let me know.
