    Angry Linked CAD Drawing Disappears on Reload

    I have searched the forums many times, but not found anyone else with this issue. We have a site plan in CAD format that I have underlayed in a floor plan. This gives us a nice site plan with the current structure. I made a few changes in the Autocad file and when i go to reload it from the "manage links" window, it disapears in my views. I have tried zooming extents, any ideas on how to find the file, or keep it from moving/disapearing?

    Thanks -

    Default Re: Linked CAD Drawing Disappears on Reload

    My guess is that the site plan you have linked was linked at a specific scale(due to being 12 times too small which all civil plans are), ie you need to pick on the dwg and specify feet (1) instead of inches(1). so then sometime along the way you have imported / linked something at inches and thats what revit remembers(I thought this was fixed) anyway its just reloading it at the smaller scale, so you should beable to just pick on it and change the scale back to feet and it will resume its proper position.
