Showing multiple stories as trace reference

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Im trying to display multiple stories as trace reference and export that as dxf into illustrator,
I cant seem to figure out how to show multiple stories as tracing ref
When im on the first story, i click second story as trace ref, then click third story as trace ref, but then, the second story trace ref disappears

How do i make it so that both the second and third story shows up as trace reference?

Thank you in advance

Trace & reference can only show one thing at a time as you have discovered.

However if you add the second and third storey views to a layout page (overlaying them one on top of the other) then you can show that layout page as you trace reference and that might do what you are after.

Thank you, I see.
If I may ask another question related to this topic,

I learned that I can only export one dxf per story at a time.
But if I want to save 1st story with 2nd story trace reference as dxf, is that possible? In other words, is it possible to include the trace reference lines on a dxf file?

thank you

I know when you publish a PDF you can choose to print the trace reference as well.
But I don't think you can do this when publishing or printing as a DXF.
Someone else might want to step in here as it is not something I have ever tried.

The only way I can think of doing it would be to stack plans in the layout as I mentioned before and then publishing/printing that as a DXF.
But I doubt if you will have individual storeys/layers for each floor in the DXF if that is what you are after.
Again maybe others will have a solution for you and will chime in here.
