Josu Gheorghe Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Can I and my cheef work in the same AutoCad doc., in the same sheet?! Please help me?! Quote
Tiger Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I moved your post to it's own thread - please start a new thread for each new question you have. And I would say no, you can't. Quote
Strix Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 ... and only ask it once - it won't get answered any quicker if you spam it across the forum, and it'll be more difficult to find your replies I'd agree with Tiger - you can't both work on the same sheet at once Quote
skipsophrenic Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 agreed not possible as far as i'm aware. Quote
manhattan Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 i concur with the others, no you cant. it would be a bit confusing if you could Quote
A1DWG Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Out of curiosity why do you want too? Time restraints? a lot of revisions? Would X-refs be a suitable option? Quote
Tiger Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Okey, in an effort to try and help, here's what I do when I need to share a AutoCAD file with collegues - this might not be the best way, but if everyone is on top of their game, it works. I start with Mommy.dwg, in which I draw my stuff. Co-Worker comes in and wants to draw his stuff, I say, start a new drawing (called Daughter.dwg) and X-refs in Mommy.dwg into Daugther.dwg. When we need to compile it back together, I grab everything (except the x-ref Mommy.dwg) in Daughter.dwg anc copy-paste with 0,0,0 as basepoint and Insertion point. If I need to see what Co-worker does while he does it, I can x-ref in Daughter-dwg into my Mommy.dwg. Just make sure that he keeps Mommy.dwg as an Overlay in his Daughter.dwg. Complicated? You bet! Prone to mistakes? Yes. The only way I know? unfortunatly yes. Quote
ReMark Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I believe it can be done in AutoCAD Map but not in plain vanilla AutoCAD. Quote
ReMark Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Take a look at this. The OP asks a similar question. Check out the response by aarkamal detailing a workaround using the component ADE, included in Map but dropped some time ago from plain AutoCAD, to supposedly do what you are asking (well almost). Try at your own risk. http://discussion.autodesk.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=5474004 Quote
