After a link is selected, it becomes active.

For Choose link, select one of the permanent links available in the current DWG file.

When you use this option, you can click the button that then lets you select objects in the drawing.

Select objects - select this option in order to specify individual structure objects.

Create link for entire model - select this option in order to use the entire structure.

The options provided at the bottom of the Link wizard dialog let you select objects that are to be link components (the options are available only when a new link is being created):.

Save dialog - displays when you are exporting data to a new file that is being created at this stage.

Open dialog - displays when you are importing data from an existing file that contains a calculation model (RTD file).

You can specify a file by clicking Browse, and then using one of the standard Windows dialogs that displays: As data is updated, the path is displayed in the field, but is read-only. This field is available only when you're creating a new permanent link.

For Set path to calculation data file, specify a calculation file with an RTD extension (an Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis file) to which calculation results for the created link will be saved.

Because the name identifies links, it must be unique in a given file. The link is saved under a specified name in the current DWG file. This field is available only when you're creating a permanent link.

For Enter new link name, specify a link name.

Ribbon: ASD - Model > Tools > Analysis Interface - Robot.

Menu: Steel > Analysis Interface - Robot.

Updating the CAD file and the file containing the structure calculation model is carried out in the Link Wizard dialog shown below.

Autodesk Robot Structural AnalysisPerform full synchronization (from Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis to Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing and vice versa) of changes made in a structure calculation model as well as in its CAD model.

Apply a calculation model created in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis as the basis for creation of a detailed CAD model and documentation of a designed structure.

Calculations may be performed both for a whole structure and for a selected structure part.

Perform calculations of a defined CAD 3D model using Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis at any work stage.

The link between Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis (a calculation program) and Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing (used to create drawings) has been designed in order to enable you to:
