I've previously loaded a site plan.dwg into Revit. This file was completely fine and there's been two of us working on the revit file since May.  

 For some reason when I came in this morning and opened our revit file, there was a warning about my site plan.  Alarmed, I checked the site plan and various other sheets (5 in total) where the .DWG site plan had previously been....IT WAS GONE!

 So, I thought, "no big deal" i'll reload the site plan.dwg.  I did, and it showed up on the original view, BUT NOT ON THE OTHER DETAIL VIEWS. 

Is there any way to make the site plan.dwg appear in all of the previous linked DETAIL VIEWS? Or, is my only option to start the process over and make new views accordingly.  

ANY HELP WOULD BE EXTREMELY APPRECIATED ( we have a deadline in 6 days and this fix would set us back quite some time )  THANKS!

Was it previously imported in 3D or current view only?  If its imported in 3D it should show up in your other views.  If you had it loaded as current view only and just copied to appropriate views why not simply link it once and then copy-->paste aligned into the other required views.

HTH.
