Sharing coordinates with DWG links

- I'd like to look at one more scenario with linking your CAD files in and using shared coordinates with those files. Just like we saw in the previous few movies here when you select the CAD file it's either going to come in at the origin if it's within that 20 mile radius that Rivet requires or it's gonna just use center to center and this one is no different. This is just that linked site plan. And I wanna point out that currently its shared site is not set to share. So, currently it does not have a shared coordinate system and it's just sorta centered on screen there. Now, because I tried to use origin to origin, Revert actually pinned the site plan for me. So, what I'm gonna do here is an alternative to what we did in the last movie, is I'm actually gonna unpin this and move it. Because the one thing that we did not discuss in the previous movie even though it was very effective to use the acquire coordinates what we didn't discuss was that by just accepting the center to center…
