Cad Import Automatically Rotates

[chrisb.80133]

I am importing a cad detail into my Revit project as a drafting view and it automatically rotates. In Autocad it looks fine...ucs is set to world...nothing is rotated then I import into Revit & BOOM! Rotated! Has this happened to anyone before...HELP PLEASE!

Not the solution you were after, but can you not just simply rotate it back to its correct orientation within the drafting view?

[chrisb.80133]

I could, accept this detail is in every single one of our hundreds of projects...yuck, that would take forever...

[Max Lloyd]

Do it once, save it back out as an acad file, then re-import that file to the others?

Alternatively, I believe in 9.1 you can copy drafting views from one project file to another (haven't tried it myself yet, but I'm sure it will work fine....)

(BTW, I suspect the problem is something to do with the ucsfollow command in acad. Try typing it in, changing the variable, then set ucs to world and see what happens.....)

Regards,

Max
