In P3D 2012, how do I copy an equipment skid from one project to another?
Solved! Go to Solution.
When you say skid, do you have it as one piece of equipment, or is it a combination of equipment, structure and piping? Or was it an export from Inventor? (.adsk file?)
Tomislav - it is several pieces of equipment connected by piping, all part of a P3D 2012 model.
I may have found my answer. As I right clicked on the new project name, one of the fly-out's was "Add drawing to project", I clicked on that , and then browsed to the file name that I wanted to bring into the new project and it was a done deal.
Fortunately for me, everything in the drawing was what was needed. If only one or two pieces of that drawing were needed, how would I copy only those items into the new project?
Thanks,

You shouldn't have one drawing spread across different projects, make a copy of the file in question, then add that copy.
As for being selective, it might be better also to make the equipment a Template, and then use that equipment template for other projects/models.
The drawing in the new project appears to be a copy of the drawing in the old project. Are you saying that if I change the new project drawing, that those changes will be reflected back into the old project drawing?
I was not able to see how to take the several pieces of equipment and the inter-connecting piping and make a single template of all of that.
The equipment has templates, not piping.
If you want to use that as a template for future projects, make one project and call it Template (or something) and then use that project as a template for future projects. Include that model in the Template project?
No problem, you can mark this as "Solved"
