Do you see any issue with xrefing the site.dwg into another dwg and positioning the xref to a 'known point' at 0,0,0.

Now i snap on the 2d element rather then cad. For the coordinated, i manualy place with a common cad/revit coordinate. But when i export to cad, no way the origine match. They ucs are saying the same but virtualy they don't stick.Ericghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18046652828665259294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-18399465873364594122012-06-27T06:04:28.417-07:002012-06-27T06:04:28.417-07:00Funny how this is still such a problem, all this t...Funny how this is still such a problem, all this time and people are still pulling their hair out trying to squeeze these cad files through the window so to speak<br /><br />A couple of issues bringing in Architectural drawings that I have found<br />-Blocks within blocks<br />-Large radius arcs, the centre is often very far from the actual line.

Also, if you did a Zoom Fit, everything disappeared.<br />Turned out that somehow there was a Room Tag 69,000,000 feet from the model. Yes, that's 69 million. Which translates to about 13,000 miles.<br /><br />Do you think that was outside the limit?DavePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15422882545893464197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-42317954958454093002012-06-15T03:54:30.261-07:002012-06-15T03:54:30.261-07:00Great post Steve, I wouldn't be surprised if t...Great post Steve, I wouldn't be surprised if the DWG contains an ordinate dimension whether that causes an issue as well. I have seen this many times, where even though you think there is no reference back to 0,0 an ordinate dim triggers the DWG to go screwy as well because it will pick up 0,0to drive coordinate locations.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609028351574557112noreply@blogger.com
