CAD & LINKS

Link Manager Pro.

One grid for every link in the project — Revit, IFC, CAD, point clouds, BIM 360/ACC: paths, coordinates, worksets, load state, edited in bulk.

01 · THE PROBLEM

Revit's own Manage Links dialog splits Revit, CAD, DWF and point-cloud entries into separate tabs, each showing only a handful of fixed columns — checking a link's workset or coordinate mode means closing the dialog, hunting it down in a view, then opening Properties. On a project with dozens of links spread across types, piecing together the full picture takes more effort than managing the model itself.

4 tab

Four tabs, four disconnected views

Revit, CAD, DWF and point-cloud links sit in four separate Manage Links tabs — there's nowhere to see every link in the project on one grid to compare load states at a glance.

20–30 phút

Re-pathing one row at a time after a server move

Renaming the server or moving the project folder means picking Reload From for every single link, repeated separately across all four file types — a project with a few dozen links eats most of a morning just re-pathing.

0 cột

No workset or coordinate column in the list

The stock dialog shows no workset or coordinate-mode column — checking means selecting each link in a view and opening Properties, and any link not visible in the current view is effectively unreachable.

No bulk workset assignment for new links

Linking 10 CAD files into a project means selecting each one in a view and changing its Workset in Properties ten separate times — nothing applies the change to the whole batch at once.

What it does

On the Autodesk App Store, External Access Links Manager edits load state and paths through separate Revit/CAD/DWF tabs, while Link Manager focuses on bulk insert-reload-remove but still per link type. Link Manager Pro puts Revit, IFC, CAD, point clouds and BIM 360/ACC into one filterable grid, with workset and coordinates right in the list:

See every link

Revit, IFC, CAD (DWG/DXF/DGN/SAT/SKP), point clouds, BIM 360 / ACC
Paths, coordinates, worksets and load state in one grid
Filter by link type and state

Edit in bulk

Repath, reload and unload in batches
Change worksets and coordinate mode across many links at once
Spot broken paths before the file is opened

FUNCTION NOTES

Every tool follows the same structure: the real window, the functions worth knowing, and a demo video.
