(which might clash with stuff in your 'host' file. ie if both files share layers such as text &amp; dimensions but the orientations are different or the scale are radically different)<BR /> <BR /> The main reason to use a project:<BR /> Auto-update each time the source file is saved, the host can read it in (less hassle)<BR /> <BR /> Whichever you use a bit of project planning is wise <IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/legacyfs/online/emojis/icon_smile.gif" style="display : inline;" /> <BR /> <BR /> regards Tue, 29 Jun 2004 01:16:22 GMT Anonymous 2004-06-29T01:16:22Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Hotlinking/m-p/75135#M5873 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>What's the difference between Hotlinking a .MOD or .PLN file.<BR /> <BR /> I've tried it both ways and have found both seem to work<BR /> <BR /> Regards<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> Dave</T></DIV> Fri, 26 May 2023 07:06:36 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Hotlinking/m-p/75135#M5873 Anonymous 2023-05-26T07:06:36Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Hotlinking/m-p/75136#M5874 Dave<BR /> <BR /> Both will work, the main reason to use a module:<BR /> <BR /> The module only has stuff on the layers which were visible when saved, so you do not need to bring in additional stuff you do not want.
