In Microstation we open a new job and can immediately open any other job and can grab entire area like a men's and women's bathroom in a Assembly building.
And then place it in my new model (all items are visible version does not matter and I go to the next task of adding or deleting fixtures. I can pull up a job 30years ago and any cell cancel and actually any object, cell, etc. is a copy and paste.
Currently in Archicad - every time I start a new project I want to copy , but cannot. I have to start over on every new job..
I have 30 years of cad files. And all immediately usable in Microstation but I am required to update every toilet, urinal, door window, stall ..... on every job.
Am I missing something? This is backwards and a waste. My libraries grows in Mstation but dies version to version in archicad.
