    Default How to merge?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Is there a way to merge things that you've accidently drawn in paperspace into modelspace and if there is what is the command?

    Thanks!

    I don't have express tools - how do I go about getting those? I'm currently running AutoCad 2000LT and supposed to be upgrading to 2005LT tomorrow.

    Did you draw these items to scale (1 to 1)? If so could you not simply select all the items and then "Ctrl-C" (copy) and then "Ctrl-V" (paste) them back into model space?

    I suppose I could do that - I just thought there would be a key-in command.

    Hypo means AutoCAD full...there are no Express Tools for LT. (Except as 3rd party software.) Cut-n-paste is probably your only option.

    Along these lines, it would be great if there was an AutoCAD command that would take the layout that you are in and make it happen in model space with scales and clipping applied where viewports occured or bring all items in model space with scaling and clipping. Also the reverse, where you can take a drawing where you have clipped blocks or XREFs and your can turn the clipframes into viewports...yadda...yadda.
