Visibility issue with links in RAC2009?

[dbaldacchino]

Hi all, can anyone reproduce the following?

I upgraded a structural project and an architectural project. The structural file is linked into the architectural. I opened the architectural and tabbed to select an element in the linked structural, right clicked and the option to hide element is greyed out. If I do this on a linked file created in 2009 (not an upgraded one), this function will work.

If you go down to the bottom of the revit link dialog box, it will still let you unload it. Unfortunately, the link is deleted from the project if you do this. This is the first time I have coordinated with a structural model. I am glad to know this is a glitch and not the norm.

I'm actually not talking about unloading, but about overriding graphics of objects within the linked file in a view. For some reason it doesn't work on ugraded projects but works on ones started in 2009. Minor thing but came across it anyway. Good thing we ended projects recently and are starting new ones in 2009 instead of having to upgrade a lot of them!
