When importing DWG we can import multiple DWGs into one VW file.
When referencing a VW file (the VW equivalent of 'importing' a VW file) or copying and pasting, we can't.
When we want to copy data from multiple VW files we can't simply 'import' multiple files at the same time by dragging and dropping on to the Reference dialog (a la Microstation) for example.
Have a situation now where we have received 50 or so DWGs from the MEP. Have imported them separately, and have removed extraneous data (mainly our out-of-date data sent back to us...) and now want to amalgamate all the data into one file for easy of use and referencing.
Some means of copying layers from multiple files into one file would be useful.
While the import multiple DWG process is useful, as you know with DWGs emanating from a certain BIM solution, DWGs are usually huge and need a massive amount of editing to be useable so this is only useful on small amounts of data. A Vectorworks-biased solution is needed.
