To Edit a Linked Drawing in the Source Application

  1. Start AutoCAD or AutoCAD-based application, and open the linked drawing.
  2. Modify the drawing and the current view as needed, and save the drawing.
  3. Update the link in the destination document if necessary.
Note:

The drawing is changed in the destination document and all other documents that have links to it.

How the link is updated depends on the destination application. Some applications support automatic updating of links; others require manual updating of links.
