No more Read from... when linking several drawings to folder

What happened to the "Read from..." when linking several autocad drawings to a folder. This option does not exist anymore in archicad 17?!

In the drawings manager, we used to select several autocad drawings placed on different layouts, right click we had the option of read from, now we have to link each file by itself one by one...

Please help...

I don't know if this helps, but if you have a group of files selected and any one of them is (or was) in a different folder from the others the yellow icon will not show. It is quite tedious to review every single one, so test this by selecting only two files that you know for a fact have the same origin source folder.

Having them in the same folder does not work in TW. It does not appear even though it is the same file.

Link off with different files in the same folder (see previous post image)
