builtright3 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I have an old plan that I would like to insert into a new plan template I built. Can I get some recommendations of the best way to do that? It would be very helpful and appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 The question is why do you want to put the old plan into your new template. There are several options depending on what you want to accomplish. One option is to export all the Defaults, Layersets, Annosets, Line Styles, Text Styles, etc from the Template and then Import them into the old plan. That way, you won't lose any Sections, Elevations, CAD Details, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 So...it sounds like you want the new defaults to apply to the old plan? If so, look at it the other way around. Open the old plan, and then use Import Default Settings tool to import the selected defaults from your new template plan into the old plan.

That way, you won't lose any Sections, Elevations, CAD Details, etc. I started from scratch in X11 and rebuilt all my defaults and setup my new "Plan Views" and also started to reconfigure my tool bar. I don't care about losing my sections, details and elevations from the plan, its mainly the structure (foundation, floor, walls and roof) that I want and the plot plan with all the property line and all of the setbacks. I want to re-send the sections and floor plans to my new layout with my newly built "Plan Views" 2 hours ago, glennw said: So...it sounds like you want the new defaults to apply to the old plan?

If so, what is the difference between using Edit Area and just using the copy/paste tool? Would it include more of the plan file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still use copy/paste but "Edit Area (All Floors)" captures more of the model than simple selecting, for editing, moving, deleting, copying, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a new tool for me. I read the help on it but I don't always do well with written instruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
