Problems with Autocad Links!

[wesley.stabs]

Good morning fellas,
A couple questions to test the cad slingers out there. Xref hatch is only half visible upon printing it Revit. Additionally, we previously utilized a solid grayscale hatch pattern in Autocad to signify existing detailed conditions. Linking into Revit, we decided to use a non solid hatch (the hatch which only is half visible) thinking that the solid pattern would not be able to be half toned. This new hatch Ansi31still does not reflect the graphic representation which we would like to achieve. Another problem has occured recently. I reloaded a boat load of Autocad details after changing a directory name in which they were saved and saved back to the Revit central file. Now others who are saving and relinquishing to the central file are recieveing an error message, upon opening their local files, about the details that have been repathed. The old detail paths are still present in their manage links dialog box. Has anyone here encountered these issues and could potentially provide some insight? It is much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Wesley

I have had this problem as well.
To correct it make sure all users close and save to Central,
insuring they "relinquish" all editing rights to all families, views etc.
Once that is done, have one person go back and update the paths
while in the central file, save to central and close it again.
Have users reopen and reload latest first thing to get the new
paths down to all local copies. They usually work fine after that.

Hope this helps.
