can it be done? |
|

when i first began drafting we were drawing entire sets of shop drawings in modelspace, setting the viewports on layouts and plotting that way. due to a new lisp program we need to utilize for cost/time savings, we need to begin drafting in a manner where each page is its own drawing file. im trying to find a way to still draw the entire set in modelspace, and "xref" if you will, each page to its own file. i know this can be done with Wblock, but my problem is i need to be able to go back into the original file and modify something, and have the changes show up in the individual file that was created for that page. does anyone know of an effective way to accomplish this?

| Depends whether the lisp can handle xrefs. If it can, then make your changes in one "master" file, xref it into separate drawings representing each sheet. If lisp doesn't work with xrefs, you can use the same method, but before running the lisp, bind and explode the xref. But if a change is later made, you will need to re-xref, bind, explode again. |

Xref the master drawing into a new drawing and set up the page layout the same as you did before. Just do it for every seperate drawing that you need. You shouldnt have to bind or xplode anything.
