0 AlanW Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 @Jim SmithHi not at computer but I recall that I have eye dropped from one file viewport across to another files viewport in the past. Make sure your default eye dropper settings are set to copy what you need. Quote Link to comment

0 Christiaan Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Okay, so it doesn't do Records, but it should do everything else. You'll need to import an Records manually if you need them. You may or may not need to uncheck Record under Other Attributes before it'll pick up everything else, that dialogue is not clear. Edited May 30, 2017 by Christiaan Quote Link to comment
0 Jim Smith Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 I get that it doesn't do records. If one removes Records as a setting for the eyedropper, then makes the attempt to copy Door Settings, for example, it also doesn't drop the settings on the new door in another file.

0 Christiaan Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I see what you mean. It does work with things like viewports but clearly not with plugin objects. Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Yes, point taken, but your wish might be better served if the body text of your wish is edited to be more specific (I missed the word record in title). Edited May 31, 2017 by Christiaan 1 Quote Link to comment
