I used to be able to do this without a hitch, but now I have to save the DWG as PLN before I can copy elements between files.<BR /> <BR /> Is there a setting somewhere to change this? Most of the time, i'm not even interested in preserving copies of the source DWGs, so having to save a duplicate in PLN format is a nuissance.</T></DIV> Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:39:17 GMT SGraham_MGArchitects 2012-10-02T15:39:17Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Copying-from-DWG/m-p/199668#M24713 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Has anyone else noticed that AC15 won't let you copy directly from a DWG opened up in a separate instance of ArchiCAD? <BR /> <BR /> Often times, when I'm pulling details from manufacturers, I'll open their DWGs in one instance of ArchiCAD, modify pens/fills/etc so I can avoid corrupting my working file, and then copy those elements I want into my primary instance of ArchiCAD.
