Lining up elevations with plans in PlotMaker

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello,

I am trying to line up an elevation view with a plan view in PlotMaker. It seems that I can not snap to any lines within the imported view... so how can I make sure that my drawings are properly alligned on the sheet?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

plotmaker recognises only hotspots within placed drawings.

a few strategically placed hotspots in your archiCAD views should do the trick!

Here's another tip:

I like to put horizontal lines across the page on the master layout in a white pen. You can use this line to snap your drawings to (using the hotspots already mentioned) and the lines won't print because they're white.
