Hi all,

I have this family (floor drain) plumbing fixtures

after inserting it to a project , I export the view to CAD but this family shifts from it's original location to another location this happened only when the model display set to (wireframe), but one I set the model display to hidden line the export is well

thanks

Hello @A_MAQ,

I looked at your family and placed it in my project.

It is a face based family.

when exporting to CAD I don't experience the shifting behavior.

What is the host of your drain.

What is you shift the host.

it shift only when you set the display model to wireframe and export it to cad it will be shifted

Hello,

This is a known bug.

When exporting to DWG avoid using wireframe.

Hello @A_MAQ,

I checked the link from @fabiosato.

Hello @fabiosato,

Do you know if this is solved in the 2017 version?

If not, I will ask Autodesk

Hello Robert,

So far we didn´t test, because most of our projects are in 2015 and 2016.
