Manage DWGs Imports and Links in Revit

February 2025

❝ I thought it could be irritating to not find in which view a DWG was imported in Revit. ❞

👨‍💻 So, I made a small Revit button to detect CADs imports and links.

My (not-so-unbiased) opinion; I think it is cool that it also shows the view associated to the Dwg (if linked as view specific).

PS: This tool is in nonicatab pro.

💻 Coding tip: Used a filtered element collector to look for elements of the importinstance class and filter them by file extension. Then checked, IsLinked property to find out if they are links or imports.
