Known Issues

Some functionalities are not supported for Revit 2017 such as modifying elements color and modeling steel connections. Revit 2020 and AutoCAD are recommended for LINKo7 to get the most of it. For AutoCAD, LINKo7 ribbon tab doesn't load when the system variable "Startup" is set to 2. In this case, you need to type in the command "LINKo7Ribbon" at the command prompt to manually load LINKo7 Ribbon tab.  During the Live Connection between AutoCAD and REVIT, if nothing is appearing in REVIT after drawing in AutoCAD, the life connections are lost, to resolve, simply click the Connect button in REVIT again and the connection is established again.
