    Question JPG image location in CAD import

    I have a jpg image attached to an autocad site plan. When I import the CAD file into Revit as a link (I've tried checking and un-checking the "current view only" option), something rather strange is occuring.

    The CAD file looks fine in Revit. But, the jpg image is not in the correct location relative to the CAD lines. And yet, when I select the imported cad file, the jpg is part of it (as it should be).

    Why would the jpg location not be as it is in the cad file itself?

    Question Re: JPG image location in CAD import

    Ahh. . . . problem solved. I guess Revit doesn't like rotated images. My image had been rotated in the CAD file. Revit basically un-rotated it. So, I need to rotate the image in Photoshop or Paintshop and save it back into the Cad file and go from there.
