Hi,

How Create DGN Link ?

this code don't work..

if (Suffix == ".dgn")
{
    DGNImportOptions DGNopt = new DGNImportOptions();
    if (Doc.ActiveView != null)
        Doc.Link(NewDocPathname, DGNopt, Doc.ActiveView, out ElemId);
    else
{
        TaskDialog.Show(EnoviaAddPanel.ErrorText, EnoviaAddPanel.InsertNOView);
        ParentTransaction.RollBack();
        return Autodesk.Revit.UI.Result.Failed;
    }
}

How Create SKP Link ?

this code don't work..

if (Suffix == ".skp")
{
    SKPImportOptions SKPopt = new SKPImportOptions();
    if (Doc.ActiveView != null)
        Doc.Link(NewDocPathname, SKPopt, Doc.ActiveView);
    else
    {
        TaskDialog.Show(EnoviaAddPanel.ErrorText, EnoviaAddPanel.InsertNOView);
        ParentTransaction.RollBack();
        return Autodesk.Revit.UI.Result.Failed;
}

The code you have shown looks like it should work.

I would check to make sure the file referred to by newDocPathname exists (perhaps try something really simple).

Of course make sure the transaction "ParentTransaction" has been started and correctly committed. Depending on the release of Revit transactions are no longer automatic and need to be fully defined.

Also make sure that "Doc" is correctly defined.

I use VB so I would also consider putting in a try/catch around the doc.link command.

Hi,

This work for all link except DGN Link...

Please help me.

               Transaction ParentTransaction = new Transaction(Doc);
               ParentTransaction.Start("Create Link");

               try

                   ElementId ElemId;
                   if ((Suffix != ".rvt") && (Suffix != ".ifc"))
                   {
                       if (Doc.ActiveView != null)
                       {
                           if (!Doc.ActiveView.CanBePrinted)
                           {
