This has happened when the shared coordinates were defined in Model B and published to Model A. Not sure what triggers it but it has been rare. User can open Model B and SWC to fix. Before doing that, I suggested the user to next time do a <b>complete</b> SWC in Model A to ensure that they are relinquishing all borrowed elements and worksets. I have not heard of the problem since so who knows.Jason Baillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11116431320517874395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25558076.post-3195684163280880142010-12-10T14:03:29.307-05:002010-12-10T14:03:29.307-05:00Hmmm...

As you may recall, if a linked CAD file is in a project that has Shared Coordinates then Revit can throw this error due to xref & Acad issues... I do recall Steve Stafford telling me that if one gets this warning (and we all have, right?) one needs simply to do the following:<br /> <br />1) Xref each needed, live CAD file into a blank CAD file (0,0,0 and all)...<br /><br />2) Link THAT into Revit and it should alleviate this erroneous warning (If that is what was throwing the warning, that is)<br /><br />Cheers!!!<br />-JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234312584646868505noreply@blogger.com
