Live linked families

Live linked families

Have an option in families that links them to the family (*.rfa) file so that if the RFA is updated then the changes will feed through on reopening the project file.
This would be handy in an office with a standard family library.

I see your point, but think that the risk of unintended changes outweighs the benefit of global updates.

@bill_gillissthat's the point of it being an option, that you could choose if you want to have it live or frozen. Assuming you know what you're doing, of course
