Manage Links Dialog

The Manage Links dialog has tabs for Revit models, IFC links, CAD Formats, DWF Markups, and Topography. Under the tabs are columns that provide information about the link.

Column	Description
Link Name	Indicates the name of the model or file being linked.
Status	Indicates whether the link is loaded in the host model. The field will display as Loaded, Not Loaded, or Not Found.
Reference Type	Determines whether this linked model will be shown (Attachment) or hidden (Overlay) when the host model is linked to another model. This column applies to Revit and IFC models only. See Show or Hide Nested Models.
Size	Size of the linked file. This column applies to CAD formats, DWF markups, and topography only.
Saved Path	Location of the linked file or model.
Path Type	Indicates whether the link's saved path is relative or absolute. See Tools to Manage Links.

Sorting Link Information

You can sort the information in the Manage Links dialog. Click a column header to sort the rows by the values in that column. Click the column header again to sort in the reverse order. For example, click the Status column header to sort the rows by Not Found, Loaded, and Not Loaded status, click the Link Name column header to sort the rows alphabetically by name. By default, rows are sorted by link name.

Each tab can have its own sort order. For example, you can sort Revit links alphabetically by model name, reverse-sort CAD Formats by size (smallest to largest), and sort DWF Markups by size (largest to smallest). The sort order persists, so the next time you open the dialog the information is sorted the way you last specified.
