marco Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hello, does anybody knows if is it possible to place a reference in a drawing without bringing the all the reference it has inside? Thanks, Marco Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee JuanCarlos Posted January 9, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 9, 2013 You can use your VW help and query "workgroup reference" It will show you two ways of referencing, the "Design layer viewport" way is your best bet Quote Link to comment
marco Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Thank you for answer. This is what we usually do. I was looking to know if is possible when you reference a drawing to exclude that this file brings with him also the other reference it has inside. I mean if I reference my drawing A to a file B that has inside a reference to a file C. Is it possible to bring in the file A just the B without the information of the file C. Maybe it could help to have file smaller? Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Each Design Layer reference will be on a unique Design Layer and you can choose which source Design Layers are visible. So if you don't want file C's referenced Design Layers then don't have its 'Design Layer' in file B visible. Note though that this will also exclude any information added on that Design Layer in File B. Quote Link to comment
marco Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 So the only way to exclude it is by turning of the layer as I thought. Thanks. Do you know why while I'm in the drawing A and the layer of the reference B is on and also the layer of the reference C that it has inside is on sometimes I'm not able to see C? Quote Link to comment
