If you have a linked project (multiple revit projects linked into a master) and for some reason someone changes the name of one of your linked files, is there any way to get the renamed file to come back in the exact same spot as the original named project?

I don't seem to see any options (like in acad the xref manager would have the old path and you could repath to the new name). Does REVIT have a similar manager? How does it keep track of linked drawings?

Thanks

Justin

Also if your were using Shared coordinates you could relink the model using shared coordinates and it would come back in the correct location.
