Manage Pinned Imports (Unlock and Delete)

1. When you link a DWG or SAT file, Revit usually pins it automatically.
2. To delete or move a linked file:
   1. Select the linked element in a view.
   2. If you see a pin icon, click it to Unpin.
   3. Now you can:
      • Press Delete to remove the link, or
      • Move/rotate it if needed.
3. To re-pin an element:
   • Select it and click Pin (icon in the ribbon), or
   • Use keyboard shortcuts like PN / UP depending on your keymap.

Tip: Keep large context files pinned most of the time to avoid accidental shifting that would break coordination.
