Revit OpEd
NOVEMBER 17, 2011
I've written about this a couple times in the past. Hanging around with a serious Revit guru tonight I was surprised that he wasn't aware of the issue. He'd encountered it but had not sorted out the cause. The previous posts are THIS ONE and THIS OTHER ONE. The essence of the problem is how the sketch is created in a workset enabled project.

In Revit 2011 we had this dialog and Save As button. With 2012 they've decided to capture our settings in a project file itself. They let us choose one of these four standards to use, or to use as the spring point for our own version.
