So with checking out the Instance workset, you can achieve some control: the link cannot be moved or deleted and you can still do coordination review and other C/M functions. However, the link can still be unloaded or removed, which was probably the main reason for wanting to control the link workset via checking itDave Baldacchinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431940617680243953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569516199116206255.post-60577858833556080692011-10-23T10:54:52.893-05:002011-10-23T10:54:52.893-05:00Luigi was having trouble leaving a comment so here...Luigi was having trouble leaving a comment so here it goes:<br /><br />"Dave..not sure if it helps at all...but have you tried assigning a workset for the "instance" of the linked file and one for the "type"? then take out the "instance" workset with the infamous RevitCop...and then try the copy monitor tool?

How nuts is that? My hate for C/M is growing back.<br /><br />EDIT: Wait, it DID write the html file, even after canceling the warning about Revit needing full control of the workset. If that's not proof that it doesn't really need full control, I don't know what is ;)Dave Baldacchinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431940617680243953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569516199116206255.post-75441980110426947762011-09-06T23:20:37.892-05:002011-09-06T23:20:37.892-05:00Luke, it clearly wants complete control.

In most typical scenarios, linked consultant files don't make it back to them anyway; they're "disposable" in a way, unless the engineering disciplines are in-house and you're linking live files. All that's required is data readingDave Baldacchinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431940617680243953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569516199116206255.post-63106382646120579282011-09-06T18:47:09.667-05:002011-09-06T18:47:09.667-05:00That was "NOT" J saying that...That was "NOT" J saying that...Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234312584646868505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569516199116206255.post-50531132105871815232011-09-06T18:02:49.373-05:002011-09-06T18:02:49.373-05:00Oh J, I love your sarcasm :)Oh J, I love your sarcasm :)Dave Baldacchinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431940617680243953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569516199116206255.post-90649854505531209992011-09-06T17:47:46.909-05:002011-09-06T17:47:46.909-05:00I'm guessing its 'necessary' because C...I'm guessing its 'necessary' because Coordination Monitor wants access to EVERYTHING in the model, and if something is checked out by RevitCOP, its not happy.
