Drawings, Broken Link in views, document refused, how do I fix?

Drawings, Broken Link in views, document refused, how do I fix?

(OP)
HI all, we are using CATIA v5 release 14 and I have a major problem. I have Final assembly drawing that contains a mix of view that are linked and other views which contains views that have broken link. Using the "desk tool" to fix the link I select the document and select replace selected the correct 3d file name and CATIA says "document refused", The 3d geometry has changed significantly and the file name has not changed. The files permissions are "open to all" - we are using windows XP.  Does anyone have a fix or a process to fix the broken links.

RE: Drawings, Broken Link in views, document refused, how do I fix?

Once you get the "Document refused the Link" error, that view is toast.  There is no way to re-link it interactively.

There is a method using vbscript.  It involves isolating the view and re-linking it.  The APIs are:

<CurrentView>.GenerativeLinks.RemoveAllLinks()
<CurrentView>.GenerativeLinks.AddLink <SelectedProduct>
