Link Sets Dialog

Creates a link set.

Key-in: project tree create <link_set_name> <file_name>

You can append the key-in parameters <seed_link_set_name> and <seed_file_name> to add links from the seed link set.

Copies the selected link set.

Key-in: project tree copy <new_link_set_name> <copied_link_set_name>

Opens the Select Link Set File dialog, which is used to import a file that contains link sets. The controls in this dialog are analogous to those in the Open dialog (File > Open). If the imported file does not contain any link sets an error message appears in the message center.

If one or more link sets in the selected file have the same name as existing link sets in the open DGN file, then an alert box gives you the option of overwriting the existing link sets, or renaming them automatically as they are imported.

Key-in: project tree import <path\link_set_name>

Deletes the selected link set.

Key-in: project tree delete <link_set_name>

(ProjectWise only) If you have the link set's DGN file checked out, a blue Check In icon appears. Clicking the small arrow on the right side of this icon lets you check in the DGN file or update the server copy. If you have the link set's DGN file open but it is not available to be checked in, the Check In icon is gray and is unavailable.

For more information on checking in and checking out files with ProjectWise Explorer, see the ProjectWise Explorer help document.

Key-in: project DOCUMENT <CHECKIN | UPDATESERVER>

(ProjectWise only) If you have the link set's DGN file open and someone else has it checked out and has changed it, a green Check Out icon appears. Clicking the small arrow on the right side of this icon lets you check out the DGN file or refresh the local copy. If you have the link set's DGN file open in read-only mode, the Check Out icon is gray and is unavailable.

For more information on checking in and checking out files with ProjectWise Explorer, see the ProjectWise Explorer help document.
