Location of imported Xref

Anonymous
Not applicable
When exporting a DWG-file from ArchiCad and then importing the same file as a attached Xref the imported file has moved from its original position. The same difference occurs with every file I export and then attache. I have noticed that the difference is equal to the coordinates of my local origin of the skewed grid (Shift + F8) Changing the coordinates to 0.0 doesn´t fix the problem. Doing the same thing with an earlier saved file (in witch I have'nt changed the skewed grid) gives me the correct result (exported and imported DWG has the same location as the Archicad-file). When importing the different DWG:s in AutoCad they have the same location. Really strange.

I can solve the problem by merging the whole project into a new file, but I will then loose information

Looking for alternative solution...
