Issue

Your current Revit® project contains DWG and DWF files. When you attempted to reload a DWG file in the Manage Links dialog box, the DWG file in the project was not updated.

Solution

When both DWG and DWF links are contained in the Manage Links dialog box, the process will be run out of sync and the incorrect file will be reloaded. To work around this issue, remove the links to the DWF files or import the DWF files directly into the project rather than linking them.
