Action
Operators on page 7873 and tests on page 7948 in Particle Flow are known
collectively as actions.
Active Link
File Link Manager showing an actively linked drawing.
When you use the File Link utility to link a drawing to 3ds Max, the objects
have an active link with the original drawing in AutoCAD or Autodesk
Architectural Desktop. This means that any edit made to the drawing in
AutoCAD or Architectural Desktop can be immediately updated in 3ds Max
by reloading the link.
The red flag in the file list means the drawing has been changed in AutoCAD
or Architectural Desktop and you should click the Reload button to update
the scene in 3ds Max.
The Detach button will cause the drawing file that is linked to 3ds Max to be
removed from the scene and removed from the File Link Manager.
