    Posted: 20.Apr.2016 at 15:55
I have a lot of drawings on a job that have already been set up and a set of coordinated dwgs that mirror them.
the person that set them has just copied and pasted from the original drawings into the coordinated ones which means its highly unlikely the coordinated drawings are up to date Confused
my question is this:
is it possible to copy what's on a lighting drawing (without the building xref) and paste it into the coordinated drawing as an xref/link or anything that will update when the original drawing is amended?
 
there are way too many drawings to start from scratch here so I have all of my fingers crossed that someone can help!

The only entities that will update automatically are xrefs.

can you suggest any way of making this easier? I have 15 coordination drawings and 10 different drawings to copy into each one....
