To those of you don't know, there IS a way to defeat the "Link failed - prims too far apart" error!
All you have to do is size down your object a bit, then link, then size back up. When you are creating huge ships and stuff, this is an added bonus because now people will not be complaining about the size of your ship. Pretend you are building a model of whatever you are building, then when you are done it will magically size up (manually, of course).

From: Peter Nelson To those of you don't know, there IS a way to defeat the "Link failed - prims too far apart" error!

Pretend you are building a model of whatever you are building, then when you are done it will magically size up (manually, of course). Unfortunately, I don't think it's permanent. For example, try taking the full size object into inventory and then re-rez it. In my experience, it will de-link. Other events that can cause delinkage include selling w/ land and sim reboot. But for some purposes, it might be good enough. Let us know how this develops!

You object may also explode when you cross sim borders. Even normal objects right on the linking limits can explode, if rotation and rounding off pushes the distances over the limit by a tiny amount.
