Copy drawings

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Can someone please advise if there is a way to copy a batch of drawings from one project to another after the projects have been created, to avoid having to add the drawings one by one.

Thanks in advance.

You can copy an entire project including all of the drawings with the Copy command on the Project tab.  Copies all of the files and project manager to the new location and asks for new filenames at the same time.

Thanks I do realise that. However its a Master Set of Drawings that have already been created as a project and I am simply just adding drawings to that Master set.

Copying drawings manually and then adding them to the project using Shift+Right Mouse Click to select multiple drawings.

This is a bit of a work around but it may work for you.

Activate the project you want tocopy from.

Using Copy Project, copy the current project selecting only the drawings you want to transfer, edit the filenames, and choose folder location.

After that is done, open up the .wdp file in Notepad and copy the drawings list part of it into Clipboard. Open up the target .wdp and paste them at the end of it.

Open up the project in ACE and the added drawings should be at the bottom of the list and you can them move them around.

Hope this helps,
