Cancel autoupdate or freeze version of linked model

[1234eddie]

Hi all,

I have got a question about linked models in revit. 

Small explanation. In our projects we work with multiple disiplines and company's together. 

for example: i am making model 'C-Model noisebarrier' that needs to fit with model 'A' and 'B' so i links these models into my model. and create my drawings sheets based on model V17, on a monday[have to deliver the final on wednesday, the other company's are also still working on the design] and have these reviewed internally, the projectleader says, drawings are okay, print them with final stamp on it.

The next day i open my revit model and i get this message about files that are getting updated to the latest version.

What happens to my drawing sheets is that all my meassurement are deleted and de detail positions are shifted. while my 'reviewed drawing was based on version V17 checked by the projectleader'. and i had only to put final in my stamp, now my complete drawing is destroyed, and i can get my drawings finished in time, while there will be a fine when i deliver to late.

I now everybody should work with the lastest version, but sometimes it's neccesary to freeze a model version for your drawings as we have to deliver them. 

My Question: 

Is it possible to turn of the auto update and link a specified published version on the construction cloud.

Many thanks in advance

You may get a quicker response from the Cloud Worksharing Forum

I think you are trying to "fix" this in the wrong way. The problem is probably in the way the other models are being updated. You should never lose dimensions for an update. Either stop dimensioning to obejcts in links or get the responsible parties to understand that what they are doing is interfering with your workflow and come to an understanding.

i do understand your point of view, but that would happen only in an ideal world. 

I do understand indeed that we have to make agreements, but when there are deadlines everybody needs to finish their works and will forget about the update agreements. 

So do you know someone of the autodesk teams who can have a thougt or look at this?

Thanks in advance

Autodesk cannot help with that. It's the users' responsibility to prevent these things from happening. If the people you work with cannot be relied upon, you need to modify your workflow so that you are totally independent from thier model and/or updates. I learned early on to not dimension or host to linked objects. One bad move by a consultant can make for hours of rework that can be avoided.

Autodesk cannot fix this. It is a personel problem. Proper workflows should be adhered to ESPECIALLY near deadlines.
