CAD link rotates arbitrarily upon reload???

[jj mac]

I have a survey CAD file I have set up and cleaned up in CAD. I link it in, create my site boundary, rotate true north and then had to make a couple of changes to the CAD file... so I make the changes and reload it.

Upon reload, the CAD file rotates all by its self. The ghosting of the CAD boundary appears as though true north is still correct but the content of the CAD file rotates back to its original position...

The information provided by the "new" project base point object also still tells me the angle to true north is correct.

Any ideas? Does it seem like CAD or Revit!?!?

PS.. it's in RAC2010

Are you doing anything with export to ADSK when you see the rotation happening? I have seen some issue around export to ADSK like this.

Thanks Jeff.

I am not exporting to ADSK...

Hi there, see my post in the following thread:

It is about linked files moving or rotating from their original position after someone open them and save the changes.

Andre, this is a brilliant tip (in this referenced thread)! Thank you!!! Did you actually post it in the Tips and Tricks? It's certainly worth it...

Thanks Jerry! To answer your question, I didn't post it (and never posted any tips) on the Tips and Tricks sub forum. I always think people already know all tips and tricks I know, and therefore I don't post them... Maybe I should start doing so. ;)

Thanks again. :beer:

Andre,

Look at it this way: even if most users would know it, there are always some users who don't and can benefit from the tricks posted there. And more tricks is there, more people will be willing to share theirs - to benefit of all...

I strongly encourage everybody to share their tricks there.
