ILoveMadoka Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I have 4 multi-tab drawings (both PS & MS) that I need to combine into a single drawing. Is there a way to merge 2 (or more) drawings and maintain all my viewports, tabs, detail locations and VP scaling? I'm thinking that I will have to redefine every viewport except the ones for the base drawing. Is it possible to do this in autocad? Currently, in relation to 0,0 each drawing does have details that will overlap without moving some geometry. I'm using acad 2019 and didn't know if there exists some functionality that will make this easier... It HAS to be one self-contained drawing. No XREFs allowed per customer requirements. thanks!

BIGAL Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 if you copy to clipboard each space individually it will redo the layout tabs as the same. You will have to repeat for each dwg and the layouts Mspace in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 You can drag and drop layouts from one drawing to another using Design Center. For the xrefs, you will have to load them and then Bind them into the drawing. As you said, you may have to move details around and make adjustments in your viewports, but you can easily copy the layouts from all your drawings and drop them into one drawing using Design Center, Command: DC.

ILoveMadoka Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thanks. I found this as well: Copying Layouts From One Drawing to Another Works perfectly. My issue now is to get layouts from multiple drawings to all appear correctly when the details are all in the same "location" relatively in Model Space, Looks like I will have to move the details then recreate/redefine the borders of each viewport.
