Thats a file to send to support - assuming it is happening after you have opened with the AUDIT option

That's a good point, Rhys. We haven't had that option in the past!

Whew....figured out what the probelm was.

When contacted Autodesk...this is what they had to say,
-------------------------------------
Our development team found the issue to be circular refence files withing your xrefs. This should clean up the issue you were having.

Caused by circular xrefs. Same behavior in 8.0 - not a regression.
--------------------------------

Something to be aware of for this or future upgrades.

Thanks

Do you mean circular xrefs within drawings linked to your Revit model? Unless I'm missing something, I don't remember when Revit used xrefs :wink:

[Chirag Mistry]

Exactly Brad...do not have circular references in the autocad file linked to REVIT
