KoTa04 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to import a bunch of detail drawings into my template, without all the layers that go along with the details. See, sometimes I need to use details from other companies within my drawings, and they have crazy annotations and a lot of different layers. It would be nice if I could import their details as one big block into my template that I like to work with when doing my work. Is there a way that I can import that details block (including its color codings and such, not changing anything) onto ONE LAYER. Otherwise is there a way to create like a folder within the layer manager that I can dump all those layers? It's just such a mess once I drop their details into my work, it would be nice if I could isolate all that stuff, yet keep everything as it looks on their files.. Any solutions our suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks to any who offer their help! Quote
edwinprakoso Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 You can try to XPLODE the blocks then recreate them as one block. XPLODE (not EXPLODE) can retain specific properties (maintain original color, but keep parents layer). Try this: http://cad-notes.com/2012/06/how-to-explode-block-to-other-layer/ Quote
