Diana Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Sometimes I have a few versions of a document and want to combine parts of each into one doc. How can I import layers from other Vectorwork docs? (Not ACad) I know I could recreate the layers and paste the items separately but that seems like the long way around. Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Use Work Group Reference. Reference the desired layer(s), they will be brought in complete with all the objects and their classes, etc. If you don't want to leave the document linked to the various "support" files, you can break the link by clicking on Remove and choosing to keep the info. Good luck, Quote Link to comment

Jonathan Pickup Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 use Workgroup Referencing to import a layer. From the Organise menu choose Workgroup Reference... choose your file, then choose the layer that you want Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Yes WGR works great. However, those files created with legacy versions of the OS probably have incompatible system fonts. When importing legacy files & symbol libraries, etc. it is essential that you manually check and update each font instance with those in your current OSX. Otherwise even a simply copy-paste can crash the app. Quote Link to comment
