Does anyone know a method for replacing layer links? Let?s say i have a floor plan and referenced it into another file, created a layer link on a seperate layer, moved the layer link and rotated it. Now I want to replace the floor plan in the layer link with another floor plan sharing the same origin point but saved in a seperate file. I want to be able to maintain the distance I moved the layer link and the rotation without having to move and rotate all over again but simply changing the referenced file. Is that possible?

Hey Petri I previously worked with Bentleys Microstation. That program allowed you to do batch export of numerous files containing only one floor plan, facade, section, detail etc. In Microstation you don?t work with layers - you have only one. You could also do batch prints by selecting the files and telling the software to print according to a frame placed each frame with a certain color, linetype and class. It should be no problem to do batch conversions in VW - but it is You would just have to be able to pick the files and convert them according to for instance a saved view or layer name and then apply a rule to the naming of the resulting dwg/dxf file. So nemetschek: get on with it As to the beer Petri - you pay the ticket I pay the beer

We can?t really reduce the number of times we export since it's part of our work methods in Denmark regularly to exchange changes in the design so that ingeniuers always have the latest version of f.ex our floor plans and the other way around. This means numerous file exchanges throughout the design proces. We also have to work with plans in seperate files since we have to name files in a certain way due to danish design standards and we have to be able to be more than one person working with different floor plans in the same project at the same time. I haven?t yet seen a batch export feature in VW, which makes it at time consuming proces to export approx. 40 mcd files once every or every second week

Im working in a danish architect studio with 12 employees. We all work with VW 12,5. It?s at time consuming proces to convert mcd files to dwg/dxf on a weekly basis and exchanging them with our other partners such as clients, ingeniuers etc. Does anyone know about somekind of plug-in for AutoCad, that makes autoCAD able to import mcd-files? That way we would be able to share the work load with our partners so that we don?t to do both importing and exporting of the CAD-files.

Does anyone know if it?s possible to lock the origin to prevent it from beeing repositioned by mistake?
