Bird Tools - CAD Link Opener is a free Autodesk® Revit® application that adds a DWG link opening functionality that was previously non-existent.

When this command is executed, the user selects the DWG link and it will open in a new Autodesk® AutoCAD® (or any other DWG viewer/editor that the user has associated with the DWG filetype) instance in case it is not already running. Otherwise, the aforementioned file will be opened in the already running instance of the process. Both Desktop and cloud (Autodesk® BIM 360®) hosted dwg links are supported.

Such a feature proves to be helpful whenever the user needs to edit the currently linked DWG, by automatically opening this file for him/her and thus saving him/her some time and effort.

Revit 2018 to 2026 editions are all supported.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).
