Cbeckwith Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have two different files *.vwx One has a class with text placed on the drawing where it needs to be. The drawing is scaled at 300 paper scale with "all layers" not checked and "Text Scaled" box checked. When I go to the second drawing, I can select the class from the first drawing and import it into the second drawing, but it does not copy in the text that was on the class. I have to manually set to active layer on original(first drawing) copy and then switch to second drawing and paste. When I do this, even though the scale is the same 300 paper scale, the paste is expanded on the paper. The origins are the same, the scales are the same, but it is off. Is there anyway to copy the footprint from the first drawing into the same floor drawing on the second drawing without having to go through and move every single text into the same corresponding position on the second drawing? This is my issue. I hope this explains it better? Thanks for any help you can provide. I have looked all the comments in the forum and none of them answer my issue. Quote Link to comment
G_Hannigan Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 What happens if you reverse the procedure? Instead of importing the CLASS into the second, try copying the TEXT, then use "Paste in Place" in the second. When I do this in 12.5, pasting the text in the second drawing preserves its size, location and creates the class as well. George Quote Link to comment
Cbeckwith Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 I had already thought about this and already tried that, it is still expanding the text from where it should be. So I am stuck. I am afraid I am going to have to bite the bullet and manually move each row of data into the correct position on each drawing. This will increase my time on design revisions, but you can't expect perfection, but at least I have the template format I want. So I won't have to start from scratch on each drawing.

G_Hannigan Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 You may have tried this already, what about Workgroup Referencing, then delete the Reference and keep what you want in the second drawing. Can't figure out what is causing the problem you describe. George Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Are both those Layers set for Top Plan view ? Quote Link to comment
Cbeckwith Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Does anybody want to look at these two drawings and see if you can help me resolve the issue? The files together are 4.2mb. I can zip them and email, if you want to tackle and have the time. Thanks, Clois. Just send me your e-mail and it is done. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Clois, You are welcome to send me the files and I will take a look. Pat pat@coviana.com Quote Link to comment
