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  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. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

Ahhhhhh....PARTIALOPEN or XCLIP? Of the two I'd look at XCLIP. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |
