0,0,0 is different in each drawing?!?

[JohnHolder]

Base point being 0,0,0

the corner of the building is ( metric )

x 2500.0002 

y 2500.0002

z 0.000

I xref into 0,0,0

x becomes 12596.3578

y becomes 15912.5306

z 0.000

why does it shift? Shouldn't 0,0,0 always just freekn be 0,0,0?  why is it different drawing to drawing?

I have a structural model imported from revit ( 2d ) which everything is based off of.

a model with all the equpment with the structural model xrefed in.

a model with office equipment ( which I cannot have in the drawing that I use ORTHO's with since it does not work )

so everything is referenced to the structural model, which do NOT line up with 0,0,0 ( but they are in each drawing )

the rest was deleted - ranting and very frustrated with a bunch of issues that continually pop up with program functionality.

Hi John,

Check the BASEor INSBASE system variable is set to 0,0,0.

Thanks,
Dan

Thank you!

Two of the drawings had the wrong base settings ( drawings I was provided with of course by a client. )
