Tips for pasting equipment layout drawings onto architectural drawings in AUTOCAD
Thread Content
In equipment layout diagrams or piping layout diagrams, it is sometimes necessary to include the latest architectural drawings, but the following problems arise: the linear proportions are incorrect, and lines that should be dashed may end up as solid lines, making them indistinguishable. Issues such as incorrect line width, font, annotation scale, etc. – how to copy and paste them perfectly. It would be best to lock the building plans as well to prevent accidental operations. Is it possible to avoid having layers in the building drawings?
Make a link! Insert->External Reference->Select Reference File->find the corresponding building drawing file->Open->Insert Point (it can remain at the default value or be set manually)->Scale(X=1,Y=1,Z=1).
External link files have some disadvantages: 1. Relying on external files hinders file sharing. 2. Many people’s drawing habit is to put related drawings together, which is not conducive to external reference drawings. This method is not good; let’s continue to look for a better one
Well, then keep waiting; it’s a bit like enforcing the law in a fishing-style manner. . .

Looking forward to better and more effective methods, thank you.
