changing referenced files on a layout

[Kaemingk]

Hello,

 

I made a few mistakes and am looking for help on a quick solution.  I have a plan file and layout file that I've been done with for a good while now and are fully developed.  Yesterday I made a good 3 to 4 hours of revisions to the referenced plan files but proceeded to save that plan file with a new name.  (at the time I was thinking I should have a backup of the original) Unfortunately because of this the layout file still references the old plan files.  My question is:  Is there a quick and easy way to have the layout file reference my new edited plan file without having to reinsert each layout and elevation page manually?

In Layout window Tools>Layout>Referenced Plan Files. Change the ref'ed plans here.

I typically select the plan view referenced in the layout, click on the link icon, and relink the view to the new plan.

That works but you can change them all at once using the steps above.
