Best practice to import a massive amount of typical 2d DWG details

Operating system used: Windows

Hi

I know how to import DWG files, even how to translate their attributes (mostly) to Archicad, but what if I have a huge collection of 2D DWG details and I need to have them all available at any time outside my template.

What will be the best practice to maintain that collection in a collaborative environment in a healthy way?

Suggestions are welcome.

Thank you in advance.😊

Hi Ricardo
"Typical details" teamwork project perhaps? Make sure attributes are aligned between the template and this file and there should be no issues in copying between them.
I would add one dwg to one worksheet.
You can publish all to pdf for user convenience.

Hi @Ricardo Lopez,

For this case I use (Place external drawing) function so I can control visible/invisible layers, pens&colors without affecting my file attributes, all DWG details will be imported to (Drawing & Figure) layer.

Has anyone ever worked with a master detail file and posted PMK files or something similar?
