RevitLinkInstanceMoveBasePointToHostBasePoint Method

Moves this link instance so that the base point in the linked document is aligned to the base point in the host document. This is a one-time movement and does not set up any shared coordinates relationship.

If the rotation angle of this link instance was changed after insertion, the rotation angle can be preserved or reset to the original insertion angle.
