Why all the messing around creating directories and subdirectories and .xml files?
Why can't I just be working away in my drawing, and say to myself: "I'd like to bring in that surface from Topographical.dwg" ... and just do it?
Here's how I'd like it.
- I click on my "Bring in data shortcut" button.
- Browse and select a drawing (browse should default to the folder where the current drawing is saved).
- All available data in that drawing shows up (Surfaces, Pipe Networks, Alignments, Profiles etc., similar to blocks, layouts etc. in Design Center).
- I select one or many of the available objects, and click OK.
And boom! the object is referenced in and sitting in my drawing.
