In this session we looked at referencing a DXF/DWG file into a project. Referencing means that if the file is updated, it will automatically be imported when you open the file again. Then we looked at the callout tool and in particular, how to use it with the notes database,…
Referencing DXF/DWG Files – Import the drawing from the consultant. Check it for accuracy. Then reference the consultant drawing to your project.
