If the source file of the link in your Revit Architecture project has changed, Revit Architecture automatically
updates the link when you open the Revit Architecture project.
Click File menu Manage Links to access a dialog that features several different commands for link
management.
Dialog Columns
The Manage Links dialog has tabs for CAD Formats, Revit models, and DWF Markups. Under the tabs are
columns that provide information about the linked model.
Linked File: Indicates the name of the linked model.
Loaded: Indicates whether the linked model is loaded in the host model.
Reference Type (Revit models only): Shows or hides nested linked models. See
Linked Revit Models
Locations Not Saved: Indicates whether the linked model's location is not saved in the shared coordinate
system. See Shared Positioning
Size: Size of the linked file.
Saved Path: Location of the linked model on your computer.
Path Type: Indicates whether the linked model's saved path is relative or absolute. See below for more
information about the differences between relative and absolute paths.
Local Alias (Revit models only): This column is filled in only if the linked model is a local version of a
central file. In this case, the Saved Path column displays the path of the central file, and the Local Alias
displays the path of the local copy of central file. For more information on the central file and worksharing,
see Working in a Team
Command Choices
Click Save Locations to save the new location of a linked instance.
Click Save Markups (DWF Markups tab only) to save changes to imported markups. For more information
on imported markups, see
Click Remove to remove the link from the project.
Click Reload From to change the path of the link if the linked file has been moved.
Click Unload to remove display of the linked model in the project but continue the link.
Click Reload to load the latest version of the linked model. You can also close the project and reopen it,
and the linked model is reloaded.
Click Import to embed the model into the project. This command is not available for Revit models.
Click Located In (DWF Markups tab only) to see the sheet that contains the markup import symbol.
Under the Path Type column, you can choose between a relative or absolute path. This changes the saved
path of the linked model between a relative or an absolute one. The default is relative.
An example of an absolute path is C:\Program Files\Revit Architecture 2009\Links\linkedfile.rvt
An example of a relative path is ..\..\Links\linkedfile.rvt
Select Preserve graphic overrides to maintain any graphic overrides on DWG, DXF, and DGN links, when
the links are reloaded.
