Hi @j.rodeschini, Maybe there are frozen layers in AutoCAD that extend to the view, perhaps bocks with it insertion point far from the block lines, Dynamics blocks, proxy elements from Civil 3D (ACAD Architecture or MAP 3D). Try to full explode a copy of the CAD file and insert it into Revit to see if get distorted.

- in case of an update of the cad file, the center won't be the same as the old version. Will the file stay at the same position no matter we moved or didn't move it after the first time we linked it?

After update the CAD file, the position of the CAD drawing on Revit do not change. This placement option is only for the time is inseted. But it does not affect it in the future.

 

Any way, after you acquire coordinate you should dissable shared position from the CAD file: otherwise; every time you save/synchronize the revit file, Revit will save back rotation changes on the CAD (overrides the CAD North with Revit Project North) and then when you will have both, the Revit and CAD, coordinates turned into a mess. Is a very irritating problem I notice since Revit 2017.

- sometimes I have some difference when using "zoom all" in Autocad and Revit. It can be ok in Autocad (any elements far from the project) but not in Revit whereas it's the same file (all layers visible). And I can't modify the cad file because I can't see the elements which are far from the project. That's why I tried the "Manual - Center" option to link the cad and put it directly near the internal origin.

As I mention above, maybe some frozen/turned-off layers or blocks with insertion poins far from the block itself.

- I have to unpin the file to move it and then to pin again. It's not a big problem but the "Manual - Center" is more practical.


"Manual - Center" is also the best one for me.
