Reloading Linked Files

Use Reload when your drawing or project has been changed in the other application, or if the linked file has been moved and you have to tell the File Link Manager where to find it.

1. On the Manage Links dialog Files panel, click to highlight the file name in the Linked Files list, and then click Reload.

   Linked files that have been changed are prefaced with the symbol.

   Tip: Turn on the Show Reload Options switch if you want to make changes to the settings used to link the file. Otherwise, the reload process will use the same settings you originally used when creating the link.
2. If Show Reload Options is turned on, 3ds Max displays either the File Link Settings: DWG Files dialog or the File Link Settings: Revit Files (RVT or FBX) dialog, depending on the file type. This dialog lets you change your link settings.
   Note: When you reload a DWG or DXF file, you cannot change the sorting or layer options.
3. Click OK to reload the file.
