I'm here for more help... I would like to insert one drawing into another (ie: louver drawings done by the vendor into my set of shop drawings for the glass/glazing). I know that I can attach their drawing to mine as an xref, but I'm at a loss to understand how I can transfer the layout (paper space) sheets, with viewports intact, as well. Is this even possible? Your input will be much appreciated. Thanks! _popupControl(); |

As Xref is possible join only model space. Paper space is possible export and import into the other drawings by Layouts manager (Paper space manager) - Right click on bookmar Layout.... ------------- PepaR |

Thank you - I will try that. How are things in the Czech Republic? I am half Bohemian (my father's parents came to the US from Bohemia). I look forward to someday visiting the Czech Republic - I hear it is a beautiful country! Thanks again! _popupControl(); |

You are very welcome. By the way, try my advice first before sending thanks :).
Ad beautiful country) Yes it is. I'm in UK now but I love my country. Tell me if you arrive and I give you some information and tips for some secret great sightseeings because a lot of turists visit just Prague.

| I live near Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA. Where are you in the UK? I worked in England (Tring, Hertfordshire) for about two months, but that was a long time ago. I've also been to Scotland several times to visit family. Both lovely countries. _popupControl(); |

No apologies necessary... Sorry about the personal stuff... I'm self-employed and don't get out much  . I just find other people and their stories interesting, I guess. I hope I don't get in trouble with CADforum!You should check out one of my clients... he's always looking for engineers (and he's truly multinational!). See stutzkiengineering.com and/or Google Christian Stutzki or Stutzki Engineering, Inc. _popupControl(); |

It was joke (Xref, you and me). Sometimes I'm not so seriously ;)

 orry - I'm not usually very serious either. Hard to read between lines in a forum like this... The emoticons help.You're welcome for the tip... Chris is a great guy - quite a brilliant engineer, as you will note if you Google him. I really enjoy the challenging work I do for him. (Soon I'll have to put your xref info to the test... haven't had time yet.) Maybe you can help with another problem... My Mtext editor rotates the text to 270 deg and it stays that way when done editing. Then I have to manually change the rotation back to 0 deg. The Mtext command also uses 270 as the default. Do you know how I can change the default back to 0 deg.? (I originally posted re: this problem back on 03Jul08, so you can see other replies). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! _popupControl(); |
