When we link/import DWG files with survey data Revit often encounters file extents that are quite large. Revit will forcefully use that option when the extents of the file violate the current 20 mile tolerance it has. I find that Revit will acquire very large coordinates accurately IF the file is pristine.

Revit MEP Lasso Leader. If you are an Revit MEP user, a constant source of frustration is that Revit MEP does not have lasso for a leader head. Revit currently does not allow changes or additions to the standard leader heads, but a user in my office named Mitch came up with an idea that is just crazy enough to work.
