Import - Link multiple CAD files

[walterwu]

I have multiple dwg files that can be overlayed (position wise) correctly with origin at 0,0 in AutoCAD.

When I import link them as CAD into Revit, they are in the wrong position. How do I ensure that they still stay in the position relevant to 0,0 origin?

when linking did you use Positioning: Auto: Origin to Origin?

Yes, I've tried all the 3 options Auto: Orgin to Orgin, Auto: Center to Center & Auto: By Shared Coordinates to no avail.

Didn't tried the Manual options.

Walter,

Are the files all setup with the same units? Are you 100% sure that the CAD files are in similar positions in reference to 0,0,0. Don't forget the third 0.
