DWG links pointing to PDF versions of files.

With the exception of "Window Jamb with Furring", all of the DWG links are pointing to PDF versions of the files when I try to download them.

The window head/sill with furring and the window sill with furring PDF files do not work.
The in-betweenie details for windows are linked to the foundation details instead of window details. - PDF & DWG
