Batch linking
- Select many files at once and link them all
- One coordinate mode for the whole batch
- Assign the workset at link time
Link many CAD, RVT or IFC files into the project at once, with the coordinate mode and workset set for the whole batch.
Link CAD, Link Revit and Link IFC are three separate commands on the Insert tab, and each one accepts exactly one file before the dialog closes. Linking a batch of per-level or per-discipline backdrop drawings means reopening that same dialog again and again, re-picking positioning and workset every time.
Link CAD, Link Revit and Link IFC are three separate commands under Insert, each accepting one file before the dialog closes — linking 15 per-level backdrop drawings means reopening that same dialog 15 times.
Every re-opened dialog is a fresh chance to forget the positioning mode or skip the workset — 20 links from 20 separate manual picks usually end up with a few drifting from the project standard unnoticed.
Pick the file, set positioning, assign the workset, click Open — repeat that for the few dozen backdrop drawings of a multi-storey project and half a morning is gone just linking, before any checking starts.
Manage Batch Links on the Autodesk App Store already solves exactly this for one file type — browse multiple files, set a shared workset and positioning, then Add Links once. Batch Link Models does the same specifically for Revit files. Both stop at a single format. Link More folds CAD, RVT and IFC into the same file picker, with one coordinate mode and workset for the whole batch:
The interface is matched to the tool window running in Revit.
Manage every Revit, CAD and IFC link: paths, coordinates, worksets and load state — edited in bulk in one grid.
Audit and manage every CAD import in the project — search, filter, colour by layer, pin, delete, re-import.
Toggle the draw layer — foreground or background — for every CAD link in the active view.
