Image file moving inside of cad link when linked in Revit

[david_comben]

The CAD Link has a xref image file attached, but when linked in to Revit the image file is shifting from its correct location

In AutoCAD looks like this

 In Revit looks like this

If anyone has any ideas on why this would be happening your comments would most appreciated

Hi @david_comben

Sorry to hear that you are having issues.

Which Revit version are you using? Have you installed the latest updates for Revit?

Can you share the file and recent journal to test further?

Thanks,

Good Morning All, I seem to have fixed it by about 9:30pm, Not quite sure why it was happening, But a combination of re-creating the CAD file with Image and also resetting the project base point and survey point in Revit , seems to have the image now not moving when the CAD file is linked in to the Revit Model.
