Loads or reloads the DWG link from the given file path.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 18.0.0.0 (18.0.0.420)
Since: 2018

Syntax

C# 
public LinkLoadResult LoadFrom(
	string path
)
Visual Basic 
Public Function LoadFrom ( _
	path As String _
) As LinkLoadResult
Visual C++ 
public:
LinkLoadResult^ LoadFrom(
	String^ path
)

Parameters

path
Type: System String
A path on disk giving the location of the linked file. This path must be absolute. The link's path will remain PathType.Absolute or PathType.Relative, whichever it was before. If the link was previously to an external server location, the path type will be relative.

Return Value

An object containing the ElementId of the link and an enum value indicating any errors which occurred while trying to load.

Remarks

If the link is currently loaded, any changes made in-memory to the link's shared coordinates will be discarded.

Graphic overrides will be preserved on reload.

If the original view used to bring in this link has been deleted, Revit will cancel the load.

If there is already another link, not current link itself, using the given file path, the loading will not happen. The element id of the link using the file path will be contained in the LinkLoadResult.

If the link type identified by the given path doesn't match DWG, the load will not proceed.
