Linked file.... could not be located

[bcgatti]

Below is part of the latest response from Autodesk on this issue. It looks like we have to live with this for now.

"The development team is doing more investigation in the code, and the current workaround is ... 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. "

I believe the problem relates to the project north and true north. Unloading and reloading did not solve mine. I tried almost every thing, neither did work. Revit looses linking data somehow if you rotate any of the view's true or project north direction. When I rotate the linked cad file with the same angle, strange things happen like 3d and 2d geometry rotating independently.
Autodesk must find an urgent solution to this issue as linking cad files has become a nightmare for me.

Hi all,
to us, problem solved by detaching and reloading by shared coordinates.
It seems the problem happened when renaming the file and/or publishing shared coordinates to it.
So, some sort of updates to the original link.
Yes, it was linked, current view only.
hope this helps... RAC 2013 . Windows 7

Know this is a ZOmbie thread.. But any solutions ?

But we got this error on a bunch of our drawings and the issue were linked REVIT files. that NO ONE had worked in. We are in Revit 2015 R2

Just one morning poof.. "Linked Document P:\blah\blah\xyz.rvt not found. The link will be unloaded."

We go to the directly or try "reload from" and nothing works.

This is not good.. as we copy monitor and such, so deleting/detatching the file and reloading not an option. It messes up a LOT of view templates and more.

Is there a fix ?

Have you tried the "Create Instance" Method?
I haven't seen that error yet, but I'd love to see an image of the warning if possible.
I'm wondering if the instance was deleted, moved in the directory, renamed, or corrupt.
Just some thoughts.
Can you open the link with no issues?
Have you run an audit on it?
When was the last time you recreated the central file?
Also what build of R2 are you on? Should be update 9 if memory serves me right.
