    Unhappy True North/Project North and Shared Coordinates

    Hi,
    I am having a problem of setting up True North and Shared Coordinates for my Revit File.

    Here is what I did:
    1, Link AutoCAD file inside Revit, Go to Tool --->Project Position/Orientation--->Relocate True North. Rotate to True North
    2. Tool--->Shared Coordinates--->Acquire Coordinates, then click the AutoCAD file.(this should automatically select the origin point of the AutoCAD file)

    Then I exported Revit to AutoCAD, eveything looked perfect......So I stared working on my Revit model. Until today,a week from then, I find out none of them work anymore!!
    Project North/True North became same, Coordinate point moved to somewhere else. What happened? I didn't change any of them. So I have to repeat what I did before and fortunately get the true north back. But the Corodinate point still doesn't work.

    Does anyone know how to fix the problem?

    Thank you so much
