I have a user who is experiencing a repeatable problem.
When she dimensions from a Revit object to a line or other element in an imported dwg file Revit will crash.
Anyone else experiencing this issue and have you come across any fixes?

No but i always mention not to do it. Draw a ref plane and dimension to it.

So, Daniel, if you weren't having problems what made you think of saying not to do it ;)
Any reason you can think of as to why this might happen?
I'll suggest your solution in the meantime and see if that does the trick. Thanks

I always mention not to use DWG for anything besides drawing on top of it. Then if you unlink the DWG you dont have a series of warning. Same applies if that DWG change.
My 2cents :-)

I had a problem with imported cad files crashing Revit. Make sure there are no imported bimaps. I think this problem was fixed in the latest build however.
