I have been sent an autocad file for inspection and work etc.
I have imported the file and all seems fine on the outside.
On closer examination, all the items in the drawing have been classed as symbols. I wish to edit the multiple parts of the drawing as normal but each item is listed as a symbol and all the sub items are noted as a symbol. I know I can manually copy & paste the file the old fashioned way but I am wondering is this a quirk of the import and more importantly is there a sensible way around this.
I am looking a days worth of re-doing plus the issue of my making a mistake rectifying this file.
I am wondering does anyone have any pointers.
I have seen this before and I cannot remember what I did to "cure" the problem.
