Shared coordinates are used for remembering the mutual positions of multiple interlinked files. Those interlinked files can be all Revit files, or a combination of Revit, DWG, and DXF files.

- About Shared Coordinates
When you combine multiple models and files in a single project, use shared coordinates to establish the positions of the files in relation to each other. - About Reset Shared Coordinates
Break the relationship between files after coordinates have been shared. - Workflow: Using Shared Coordinates
The following describes a typical workflow for establishing shared coordinates among models and files. - Video: Shared Positioning
Use shared positioning to maintain relative positions when combining multiple files in a model. - Defining Named Positions
A named position is the placement of a model instance in a Revit project. - Acquiring and Publishing Coordinates
In general, you want to acquire coordinates from a linked model (such as a site) if you are working in a building model file. If you are working in the site model, you want to publish coordinates from the site model to linked building models. - Reporting Shared Coordinates
You can report the shared coordinates of a linked model within a host model. The coordinates returned are with respect to the shared coordinates between the models.
