Merging 2 different VW files


Recommended Posts

So I am guessing that the most ironic thing to do is to export out DWG from a VW file and then re-import into another VW file the DWG so that I can see the Viewports.

This seems really silly to not be able to import or merge 2 VW files.

This is the project:

Lightplot in VW done at a different time than,

Circuit plot for new theatre done at a different time than,

the running light layout, done at a different time.

Viewports were made in all 3, but I will now have to take the time to recreate those after copy/paste of all layers into new doc.

ARRRRRGGGGHHH.

Import should include another VW document.

Gary there is a simple way:

- Go to the Design Layers tab of the Organisation dialog box.

- Click on New and in the New Layer dialog box that opens select Import Design Layers.

- Navigate to the drawing you want and select the Design Layers you want to import.

- Checkmark the option for Import Layer Objects.

- Hit the OK button

Note:

- The Design Layers you want to import must have unique names. ie. they can't have the same name as an existing Design Layer in the destination file.

- If you don't checkmark the option for Import Layer Objects all you will get is a blank Design Layer with that name.
