Auto update files that have "different layers than the imported version" ?

$

Hello all,

 

Is there a way to auto update all links that have modified layer options?

 

I have a lot of illustrator files which have a lot of layers in them, I import each file into indesign and use "object layer options" to toggle layers on/off.

I then duplicate the object in indesign and change the object layer options to toggle a new layer on.

When I'm done, on average I will have about 100 linked file which will be used 5 times with differernt layers toggled on.

Updating modified links is not a hassle but if I add, rename, remove, or change the layer order of the orginal file, I get the following error when updating:

 

 

"The file xxxx has different layers than the imported version. The link will be updated with the source file's current layer visibiltiy setttings."

I have to keep clicking ok for each time I used the same file with a different layer showing is time consuming.

Is there a way of updating my indesign file without having to hit "ok" for each link when the modified linked file has different layers?

 

I am on a Mac and any help would be greatly appericated.

 

Thank you all.
