repetitive components

peter spellman — Mon, 10 Oct 2005 16:12:55 GMT

Hello,
I am working on a housing scheme with multiple versions of the same design (3 single family houses on one site). Can I have one design that I can repeat and have the others update to inevitable changes as the project progresses?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been learning AC9 on my own for the past 6 months and can not seem to find the solution to this.

Peter

you can put them on the same layer name....for example...wall...but give each of them seperate extension...for example wall-fpa, for scheme a...wall-fpb for scheme..etc...then you use view sets to publish them....worth a try

Have you tried using Hotlinks/Modules? It sounds like they do exactly what you want.

yes modules!!! You can even have the module nested all into the one file
