Reload cadlink multiple or single

1

Hello
I’m trying to find a way to reload all the multiple and single link of a project but there is only information about the revit link

Someone has information about it.

regards

Rodrigo,

Unfortunately, the Revit API (and therefore Dynamo) does not have the ability to reload CAD links, just RVT links. Hopefully this capability will be added soon.

The API for Revit 2018 includes a new method called CADLinkType.reload(). I haven’t tested it yet but it should let you reload DWG links.

Hello
thanks for the info.

I’m testing the api
Generates an error in the line …Reload()

Any suggestions?

I appreciate the information

regards

Sub Button5Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim doc As Document = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document

Using t As New Transaction(doc, "Reload Imports")
	t.Start()
	
	For Each ints As ImportInstance In New FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(GetType(ImportInstance))
	
		If ints.Category.Name.EndsWith(".dwg") Then
			Dim typeId As ElementId = ints.GetTypeId()
			'How to reload cadLink?
			

			    Dim cadLink As Autodesk.Revit.DB.CADLinkType = TryCast(doc.GetElement(typeId), CADLinkType)
			
			MessageBox.Show(cadLink.Name.ToString)
			
			cadLink.Reload() '--------ERROR
		
		End If
	Next
	t.Commit()
End Using

End Sub

The code works well in revit 2018
