Nothing to fix really. Revit is telling you the path to the link is no longer finding the file. It may have been renamed or relocated. You can find the file and use the 'reload from' option to point Revit to the correct location/file.

Is your linked file on a network location? We've had issues with linked files unloading between offices because we each use F:\ as our local network drive. So F:\ in our office maps to a location that is different from another office's F:\ drive.

Because of this, we've begun to link our models and files to the network path for the file. It's really helping the keep the frustration levels down. ;)

This is a known Revit issue and according to Autodesk Support, it is being investigated by the development team.

Here is part of the last response that I received from Support on this issue:

"The developement team is doing more investigation in the code, and the current workaround is the one I have already suggested - to unload and reload the links again.

The fix requires the code for Revit to be modified, and as such, we do not have a timeline for when any fix may be released."

Thanks for sharing information for the same!

If we rename the original file and reload from the same path then it works as well.
