imports the Linked Object from a Link into the current document, and then changes the attachment to this object.
This operation is helpful when working with assemblies in order to organize re-usable models that may be located in other documents.
Use [
Std LinkImportAll to import all linked objects.
- Make sure you have a "source" document with an original object, say, a [
Std Part, and a second "target" document with a Link to that object. - Open the target document and select the Link to the object; its Linked Object should show something like {{Value|source#Part}}.
- Press [
Import link.
A copy of the original [
Std Part must now be inside the current "target" document. The Linked Object property of the Link must now show {{Value|Part}}, indicating that the Link no longer points to {{Value|Part}} in "source", but to {{Value|Part}} in the current document ("target").
Left: a Link points to the object in the "source" document. Right: the original object was imported (copied) into the "target" document, and the existing Link was changed to point to this copy, so it no longer points to the object in "source".
