Just select the drawing, either on the layout or in the Drawing Manager and hit ctrl/cmd+T. Or click on the Drawing tool in the info box. That's the new part for you - there is actually a tool for drawings now.
If you are using a migrated Work Environment profile, chances are the Drawing Tool is not visible in the Tool Box, but it will appear in the Info Box, once a drawing is selected. You can also right click and access the Drawings Settings menu from there, or via the Edit menu.
Cheers,

Thank you Link. I am downloading the interactive tutorial as I type to get up to speed. I am trying to make sure newly generated drawings like sections are located in the correct folders in the Navigator window (Layout Book) with the correct Sheet assignment etc....
You helped with my first hurdle tremendously!

ONe more thing.... I have, over the years, built an extensive specialized custom detail library using the former MSA Detailer. Is there any way to "merge" those old AchiCAD9 drawings into V10 allowing me to use the expanded fill libraries, line types etc.....? I can open the drawings with version 10 and even save them, but they all still only allow me to use the previous library objects, fill types and line types etc... The ArchiCAD10 folder appears in the library manager but it is in italics and not selectable. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

To merge in LINE TYPES and FILLS, you'll need to use ATTRIBUTE MANAGER...usually found in the options menu.
1. Open up your converted detail file.
2. Goto Options/Attributes/ATTRIBUTE MANAGER
3. On the RIGHT side, click the OPEN button
4. Navigate to the AC10 Template File
5. Choose the TAB for Lines (or fills,etc)
6. SELECT ALL on the right side
7. APPEND to the Left Side

Thank you Duane. It worked great! Now, How can I get those individual drawings onto a layout. Here is what I tried.
I selected FILE>EXTERNAL CONTENT>PLACE EXTERNAL DRAWING
I then selected the drawing I just modified and saved as an V10 drawing file. A window popped titled "import drawing/layout" and asked for options such as "place drawing on current layout", etc... But no matter what option I select the "Place Drawing" option is never allowed to be used. Illustrated in gray with every option. I am not sure how to get the drawings onto a layout. Sorry for all of the questions. Maybe I should stik to designing buildings and hire a computer savoy person to do all of this organizing and plotting?
Thanks
Mike
