I would look into the use of XREFS. There is plenty of information to be found on the subject. Here is a link to one such source... https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/getting-started/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-A987D2FF-45BD-474E-99C1-E6316A42F667-htm.html This link is to a tutorial... http://www.2learncad.com/tutorials/xref.html And so is this one... http://www.mycadsite.com/tutorials/level_4/4-7.htm If you search on "autocad"+"xref"+"tutorial" you should even be able to find video tutorials on the subject. What more could you possibly want or need? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

Thanks John. That is Great! but is there any exercise files online so I can practice it? other question how I can make sure that the coordinations are the same in the 2 drawings. |

You can probably find practice files online at the AutoDesk website. Look for sample drawing files. Re: coordinations. Do you mean coordinates? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

I suppose it would depend on whether you are working with someone outside of your company or if the work is all internal. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |
