Linked model items highlighted pink after selecting the markup

Items that were deleted from the model since are skipped without a message.

The dialog explains when nothing will be linked:

  • No items are selected, so none will be linked.
  • None of the selected items can be linked.
  • When more than 1000 items are selected, it says the limit and that none will be linked. Select fewer items or a group.
