Modifying Linked Model Position Through Instance Properties

1. Select a linked instance in the host model.
2. Click Modify | RVT Links tabProperties panel (Properties), and click the button that appears next to the Shared Position parameter.

   The Choose Position dialog displays the current position of the linked instance.

   Note: If the Share Coordinates dialog displays, select an option to reconcile the coordinates, click Reconcile, and then the Choose Position dialog will display. For more information, see Acquiring or Publishing Through Linked Instance Properties.
3. Specify how to set the position of the linked instance:
   • Select Move Instance To and choose a position name. The listed position names are from the linked model file. When you click OK, the linked instance moves to the recorded placement for that named position.
   • Select Record Current Position As to record the current position of the linked model instance back to its file. If you want to create a new position name for the instance, click Change to add a new position name that is also saved back to the linked model file.
   • Select Do Not Share Position of Selected Instance to place the instance in the desired position and break the share between the linked and model files. If you select this option, you can move the linked instance in the host model without changing the linked model file.
4. Click OK.
