Revit to CAD exports loosing block coordinates

Anonymous

Hi All,

I'm trying to export Revit views to CAD. I've noticed that for some blocks, the X, Y coordinates are gets exported as 0,0

But for a select few, the "correct" coordinates get exported.

Does any one know what's going on? 

 

I'm using "Enhanced DWG Exporter" to get CADs exported with Blocks with attributes, but there appears to be an error and this coordinate issue seems to be the source of the problem. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

Hello,

 

Check if these blocks refer to nested families, usually Revit locates nested families at the origin.

Thanks @fabiosato 

I think you're right. I opened these families up and saw that there were nested families in there. 

 

Is there any way to get the coordinates to  show up for nested families? 

 

Regards,

Hello,

 

Not that I am aware of, maybe through Dynamo.
