    Default Building file "place & location" doesn't match linked file?

    I have created a building file and a site file for a project, both with acquired shared coordinates from a CAD survey file. Everything is rotated correctly to True North.

    In the Site file, I went to Manage Place and Locations and renamed the place to better describe the actual project site, and then set up the latitude and longitude to match.

    Now in my Building file, I have linked in the Site file and acquired coordinates, and when I hover the mouse over the Site file, it lists the location of the link as what I had set up in the Site file.

    If I go to the Building file's Place & Locations, it still says "Internal (current)". The True North value is correct, but the latitude and longitude under Place is not correct. Is there any way to "acquire" the place and location of the site file into the building file?

    Curious about this as well. Using 2010 here, publishing coordinates from a site model to the linked building models. 'Place' seems to be ignored. Any insight appreciated, thanks.
