Saving imported 2D CAD Drawing in the project

Anonymous — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 06:06:13 GMT

Hi guys, I drew a site analysis plan in a 2D cad application. However I would like to be part of my archicad project. I have not started to design anything yet, but I opened the CAD drawings natively with archicad and then copied and pasted it into a solo project. After I finished working i noted the the drawing is on level 1 in the project browser. So is there a way to maybe "save it as a view" or move it somewhere else within the project structure so that is it no longer drawn on level 1. Preserving the scale is important, but this is a drawing that for all intent a purposes has not relation to the model they way a 2D detail would. Which BTW, is this were a 2D detail, where would I place it so that then I can attach it to a specific part of the model?

2 different questions in one. Thanks a lot !

You could create an independent work sheet and paste it there. This can be displayed as a trace reference.

Or create a lower story in the Story settings box ctrl/cmd+7

Or put all the 2D info on a layer that will only show when you want per your layer combinations...
