country Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I have my new templates all set up in X8 with the layer display options all revised for proper printing of the construction drawings. I have quite a few plans I would like to bring forward from X7. Is there a way I can bring them in to a template plan so the layers will adopt the new lines and colours? Changing these one by one will be very time consuming but if necessary I will do it. These plans are all in various design stages and I want to finish them in X8.

DavidJPotter Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I would not recommend, during Beta phase to do what you plan to do. I have completed several projects using x8 but if I were you, I would wait until the final release to spend a lot of time converting plans. I know of no necessary settings or actions than need be made. I mean if you open an existing X7 plan in X8, the things about which you are concerned should be preserved without any other action. But once a plan is saved to X8, it will not be openable in X7. You will need to set up your new "Profile.plan" in X8 for future plans. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I have also completed quite a few plans in X8. I did all of these display options in X8 and they are set up in my template plan so they are not in the X7 plans. One way or another I have to change the options in these drawings so I was just wondering if there was an easier way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution MarkMc Posted January 13, 2016 Solution Share Posted January 13, 2016 you can export your annotation sets then open the X7 plans in 8 and import them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I was hoping that would work. Does it just copy over the originals or will I have a bunch of duplicates to delete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
