AutoCAD does not create the reference if an Inventor Part is placed using ViewBase command

Submitted by Juliano Correa on behalf of Daniel Hunziker

Change description

On Autocad, if you run the ViewBase command and attach a .ipt file and save, if you delete de LWS and open the .dwg again you will see an error message regarding references and the view base link will be lost.

Steps to Reproduce:

Reproducible on labs, please follow this video to reproduce the problem: VIDEO here: https://goo.gl/RGK77X [[ADMIN NOTE: Link to video only available to Accruent personnel]]

1 - Create a .ipt part on Inventor

2 - Create a new dwg

3 - Save both on Meridian vault

4 - Open DWG on autocad an run the command "ViewBase", open the vault and attach the .ipt you just created

5 - Save and close Autocad

6 - Delete the LWS OR, open the same drawing at another client

7 - You will receive the reference not found error message.

Expected Result

When creating a reference through 'ViewBase' command on ACAD, the link should be kept and shouldn't be lost if you delete the LWS OR if you open this drawing on another client.

Obs:

If you release the document before deleting LWS, the same issue occurs.
