XREF DISPLACEMENT

[clarisa.molinaZSDRA]

Hi! 

Im having problems with XREF in several of my archives. 
I had an xref placed and created my drawing over it. When I open it again the next day, my drawing and xref dont match even though no one has changed the origin point on either of the archives. 

Does anyone know why this might be?

I have tried seeing the insersion point but its all out of place.

Thanks!

Are you stating that your insertion point(s) are different when you reopen the drawing? Is it based on coordinate 0,0?

[clarisa.molinaZSDRA]

Yes, the insersion point is in 0,0,0 in both archives. When I reopen the file has moved.

Be careful in the source files. The base point may be 0,0,0 unless the INSBASE variable has changed.

Check the files and ask the command line. If INSBASE don't contain 0,0 but an arbitrary base, then change it !

ARCHIVE #1: BASE 0,0,0 
the 0,0,0 is on the last plan of the column.

Archive #2: I attach archive #1 in 0,0,0 and the new archive places it like this:

So my conslusion is that somehow, the 0,0,0 póint in archive #1 is nos being recognized.

Is it possible to share your drawings?

When you attach the XRef, how is the Path Type set: Full, Relative, or No path. If it's not Full, is it possible that there is another copy of the XRef file in another location that AutoCAD is finding instead of the one you originally selected? Use the XRef palette to see where AutoCAD actually finds the XRef.

Like @jamesmac1201, I think it would be very helpful to have access to your actual drawings. (You can make copies and strip out all the juicy stuff.)

If you ran SYSVDLG or SYSVARMONITOR in each drawing, are there any notable differences?
