Bug in Create.NewDimension

[ahmed.samy661993]

I'm working on plugin that can create dimension from curved element to nearest (columns, str walls, arc walls, grids).

Problem : when i use => doc.Create.NewDimension(doc.ActiveView, unbound, references);

and one of two references is from element in linked files.

Error message : Invalid number of references.

Note : I tracked my code many times and I sure no mistake in it.

**I noticed when created dimension manually to grid in linked file (reference is RevitLinkInstance not grid)

any idea how to create dimension to element in linked file ?
