The solution for you is probably to create additional views in ArchiCAD to import to the new layout. I am not clear exactly what you are trying to accomplish so I can't be much more helpful.

An instance is a copy, but any changes to ANY of the copies or the original are changed across the board to all of them. VERY useful sometimes. Wish ArchiCAD made a lot more use of this feature. But in this particular case it's rather annoying. I think there should be an option to copy a layout to create an instance or a copy.Matthew wrote:
I don't see any reason it couldn't work both ways. A copy is a copy, unless re- or unlinked.

This belongs in the wish list. Who wants to post it?

Regarding placing identical copies; I do this rather often to collapse a single large scale wall section to fit (with cut lines) vertically on the sheet. (I thought I remebered you doing this also.)

I now this an old thread but, as I see it, the problem still remains (16 years later) .
Does anyone have a workaround?? This bugs me in every project !!

I would like to right click on either the drawing itself or its listing in Navigator to do the relink.
