Creating a Schedule of Linked .DWG Files

[Anonymous]

I am trying to create a schedule of all the linked .DWG files currently in the project. All I am trying to get is a list of the files linked into the project, Ideally including any linked revit files too. The list is just for specifying which drawings were used for information when creating the project. Is there any way to create this?

Thanks in advance.

If you are just looking to gather the information and don't need to put it on a sheet for printing, you can do it.  Go to the manage ribbon, and click "Manage Links".  This should give you a list of each format of linked file.  It will not, however, give you an actual schedule that can be printed.  I'm not sure that would be possible, or at least I don't know how to do it.  Would that be sufficient for what you need?

Is there a way to create a list / table / schedule for the linked CAD files with their respective plan view? For example, I have a 10-storey building. Each floor uses different CAD files (and are also different in numbers). Some floor may use more CAD files than others. Is there a way to properly tabulate it?

Is there a free alternative to this?

As with a lot of things, Dynamo can give you an answer.

I've found out that a package called 'bakery' by 'LukeyJohnson' has a custom node called 'Get External File References and Details'. That node gives you a list of all of the files you linked. Just some filtering on .dwg extensions and you got what you need.

Although this isn't exactly what you need yet, this might be a start to look further into?
