I thought I'd got the hang of shared coordinates. I also thought I was done with them - set up the project files from the outset, test them whilst they're lightweight and heavy, tell everyone to leave them the hell alone, and voila!
But no, you turn your back for a week or three then come back to find models crammed full of dirty linked in .dwg files of our own making (we're not talking recieved consultant files here) - AND an agreed-at-the-last-minute workflow where all drawings from the model get the export-to-.dwg treatment.... and look, the coordinates are all off.
I despair. :banghead:
Nonetheless, I need to "fix" what's gone wrong. Although I'm not entirely sure what has gone wrong. In the attached .pdf there is a visual-breakdown of the problem.
Essentially the principle .dwgs (ie. GRID.dwg) link into the correct place using shared coordinates, but plan exports from the model (with shared coordinates) don't xref vice versa.
I've tried publishing the model coordinates to the .dwg but that solves nothing... I am reluctant to acquire from the .dwg as I don't trust it (since our 5 models are perfectly fine otherwise).
Anything glaringly obvious?
