Autodesk.Revit.DB.CADLinkOperations

The Autodesk.Revit.DB.CADLinkOperations namespace provides classes and interfaces for working with CAD file links in Autodesk Revit.

Classes

CADLink

Represents a link between a CAD file and a Revit project.

CADLinkType

Defines the type of a CAD file link.

Interfaces

ICADLinkService

Represents a service for managing and interacting with CAD file links.

Enumerations

CADLinkStatus

Defines the status of a CAD file link, whether it is up-to-date or needs to be refreshed.

CADLinkInsertionPoint

Defines the insertion point of a CAD file link in a Revit project.

Example Usage

// Get the current CAD link service
ICADLinkService cadLinkService = Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application.ActiveAddInId.GetAddInIdInfo().DLLApplicationEntryPoint as ICADLinkService;

// Open a CAD file and create a new CAD link
CADLink newLink = cadLinkService.CreateNewLink("C:\\path\\to\\file.dwg", CADLinkType.Import);

// Refresh the CAD link
newLink.Refresh();

// Check the status of the CAD link
CADLinkStatus status = newLink.GetLinkStatus();

// Set the insertion point of the CAD link
newLink.SetInsertionPoint(CADLinkInsertionPoint.Origin);

// Delete the CAD link
cadLinkService.DeleteLink(newLink);

Remarks

CAD file links allow Revit projects to reference and display CAD files within the Revit environment. The CADLink class represents a link between a CAD file and a Revit project, while the CADLinkType enumeration defines the type of the CAD file link. The ICADLinkService interface provides methods for managing and interacting with CAD file links, such as creating, refreshing, and deleting links. The CADLinkStatus enumeration defines the status of a CAD file link, while the CADLinkInsertionPoint enumeration defines the insertion point of a CAD file link in a Revit project.
