linking in has other Revit files linked to it as overlays, you will see a dialog
boxindicatingthattheoverlaidfileswillnotlinkintoyourfilewhenyouload
or reload the link. This allows you to have the architectural file linked into
your file, and your file linked into the architectural file, without duplicating
either model. In other words, your file does not come back to you when you
link in the architectural file. The default setting for linking files is Overlay,
because this is the best choice.
The Save Positions button in the lower-left corner of the dialog box is used
when your project is using shared coordinates. If you move a link within
your project, you will receive a warning dialog box with options for saving
the new location, or you can use the Save Positions button.
Other buttons allow you to unload, reload, and remove links from your file.
Once a link is removed, you cannot get it back by using the Undo feature;
you will have to load the link back into your project. The Reload From
button allows you to reload a link that may have moved to a new location on
your network. You can even reload a different file altogether.
You can also use the Project Browser to manage the files linked into your
project. All linked Revit files are listed at the bottom of the Project Browser.
Right-clicking a link in the Project Browser provides a menu with quick
access to link-management tools, as shown in Figure 4.10 .
