He develops his details, arrange them on a sheet in paper space.<BR /> 2. We place the drawings in the Layout book. They remain live DWGs.<BR /> 3. Modifications made in Autocad are automatically updated in Archicad.<BR /> <BR /> Having the DWG place in model space is easy, but means that we need to redo his layout work in Archicad.<BR /> <BR /> Appending his paper space work onto layouts is also not OK.<BR /> <BR /> In previous versions, he created PDFs that we placed on layouts in Archicad. <BR /> BTW, suggesting he simply prints his sheets directly from Autocad discards too much of Archicad's functionality, we'd prefer not to do that.<BR /> <BR /> Thanks.<BR /> <BR /> Oh, and the new Teamwork BIM server thing IS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!! <BR /> <BR /> <BR /> <BR /> <BR /> Any suggestions?</T></DIV> Thu, 13 May 2010 18:43:44 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Bring-Autocad-drawings-to-layout-book/m-p/140308#M15176 Anonymous 2010-05-13T18:43:44Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Bring-Autocad-drawings-to-layout-book/m-p/140309#M15177 You can have your detailer make up the sheet of details in autocad and place that directly in the layout book.
