Exporting to Autocad

[Barryfisher]

Hi

I've set up a model with the correct world coordinates True North/Project North and when i export it to autocad it doesn't export it to the same coordinates. Is there a way to export to CAD and keep the same world coordinates.

regards

Barry Fisher

Are you exporting with DWG Properties > Coordinate System Basis > Project Internal or Shared?

If you have specified coordinates at a point or published \ acquired coordinates in the Revit project you should specify Shared.  This should include you project coordinates on CAD export.

Please let me know if this appears to be the issue.

Thank you,

Thanks for that Ryan.

I suppose people end up issueing the Sheets and the in addition the view for coordination purposes when other parties are not using revit.
