Revit file export to cad wrong coordinates while I linked with the correct Auto cad file.
but when I export to auto cad or any other extensions get wrong coordinates.
I used Enhanced DWG Exporter Features but, it was exported with wrong coordinates too.
what can I do?

Hi,

 

Don't know about "Enhanced DWG Exporter Features".

But does Revit itself report the correct coordinates when using a spot coordinate tag, so to know Revit coordinates itself are correct.? Take a know coordinate point and place a Spot coordinate there (with correct setting Survey Point/Project point)

 

Also do you export a View or Sheet, Sheet export can be different. If you need specific coordinates export the view itself.

i see.. 

when you link the CAD the first time, did you select the right units? and then you MUST acquire the coordinate from the CAD. If those steps are not done, you wont be able to export and get the same coordinates.
