The raster within AutoCAD does not take into account any coordinate system. Viewing the elevation information associated to the DXF file. Once the Properties window, is active, select one of the contour lines and read the Elevation information. To do so you can type PROPERTIES in the command line or go to the View tab and click on the Properties option. To view the elevation information associated with every line of your contour DXF file, you need to open the Properties window. To do so, please go to the View tab, turn the Navigate Bar option ON and click on the icon Zoom Extents: To zoom to the DXF opened, make sure that you have enabled the navigation toolbar. To open the DXF file, make sure to select the DXF (*.dxf) option in the Files of type box. To select and open the DXF file you can click on the Open icon at the top and choose the DXF as “ Files of Type”, or go to the File menu and select the Open > Drawing option: Once you have your data saved to your computer and extracted the data from the zipped files, proceed to open AutoCAD. Exporting using Shared Coordinates will produce the correct result, assuming everyone has used SPaC correctly.Please visit our Data Export Formats support documentation to check the file formats that are available to export on your DroneDeploy subscription. Revit models should be linked Auto - Origin to Origin still. No file relationships are defined using it so unlike Acquire Coordinates or Publish Coordinates it is entirely manual process. If we all agree on that location then each trade can define the same location with the same coordinate/elevation values and any export to CAD/Navisworks will be able to line up based on that Shared Coordinate system. Specify Coordinates at Point allows us to pick a location in our models and assign coordinates and elevation values. If a design is reused on a site then other aspects of shared coordinates (multiple named locations) becomes useful. Shared Coordinates is primarily useful for exporting our work to share and align with Civil files or in Navisworks. If all Revit models are linked Auto-Origin to Origin (like we did with AutoCAD) then each discipline only needs to model "inside/around the building" and alway line up. That means no Publish Coordinates for now, or perhaps ever. In the cloud environment our project isn't organized in a file in the same way we see them in folders on our own server. Publish Coordinates alters an external file and that's the only function in Revit that supports doing that. If the survey was moved and rotated into alignment with your building then assigning the view to True North and reloading the file will cause it to spin out of alignment.īIM 360 does not support using Publish Coordinates so it is necessary to organize everything around being able to Acquire Coordinates or use the Specify Coordinates at Point tool (SPaC). We just export using Survey Coordinate System to line up with the survey, if that's necessary.Īlso, make sure the view the DWG was linked into is assigned to Orientation - Project North whenever you reload the survey file. Revit thinks it should create the UCS, but we don't really need that. This way an export to DWG from the Revit project can use Project Orientation and be linked into the DWG after having its UCS changed to the one Revit saved UCS.Īfter using Acquire Coordinates I disable Shared Positioning with the DWG to avoid the message. The Save prompt is Revit attempting to save a User Coordinate System to the DWG file. Their coordinate systems are matched already after using Acquire Coordinates. Have I missed a step in the above process for linking and sharing coordinates? Why is this happening? I'm thinking did something go wrong somewhere. However, now when someone else works on the work-shared file, even though they don't move or even touch the view with the CAD file linked into, they always get asked to save the position of the link. So, thus far, i think I have followed this process correctly. I wanted to check it position is saved so I removed the new file and re-linked it, and. Published coordinates from Revit model to new Linked File.it did not position correctly, so i done the following: Positioned my Survey Point & Project Base point to the desired location.Īll seems fine until we had to reload the Survey file due to changes made.Re-linked CAD file (Survey) using shared coordinates.Linked CAD File with 'origin to origin'.Created new project with office template.I have set up a work-sharing model with shared coordinates.
