Is there any way of dictating where the insertion point is for a model or drawing when exported out of revit as a .dwg?? Currently it defaults to the center of the drawing in Revit.
Cheers all Andrew

I have found this in the help files !!!
"Under Coordinate System Basis, select either Project internal or Shared.
If you select project internal, the origin of the exported AutoCAD or Microstation file is set to the Revit Structure project’s internal coordinates. If you select Shared, the origin (0,0,0) of the exported AutoCAD file is set to the shared location of the Revit Structure project, and all geometry is exported relative to the shared coordinates. Note that the Shared option is not available for Microstation files and only the Project internal option is available for SAT files."
but it a little fluffy (IMO) cos i dont know how to change my revit projects internal Coordanate so once exported are the same as AutoCAD (0,0,0) point or am i reading this wrong ??

Place a spot coordinate somewhere in your revit project and you'll soon find out exactly where your revit Origin is...

you can use relocate project in the tools menu or just move all your elements as appropriate.
