Copy Areas to Different Area Type Plans

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

This seems like such an obvious thing to be able to do, but I'm stumped...

We have a set of GIA area plans, we now want the same set of plans but as NIA so we can adjust the boundary lines to suit.


So far, the only way I can work out of doing this is by copying the area boundary lines from the GIA plans and pasting them into the new NIA plans - then adding new areas to these plans, and then laboriously copying the data from the GIA areas into the new NIA ones - which just seems wrong.

I've tried copy / pasting the areas from the GIA plans to the NIA plans, but it just pastes them back to the GIA plans...


Please tell me I've missed something obvious and there is an easy way to do this!

Thanks in advance for any help.

No you are not missing anything. That is how it works.

Ouch... That seems like such an obvious flaw.

What could take an hour with some basic functionality is going to take me days of copy pasting.

It's always the useful stuff Autodesk seems to omit.
