Reference drawing files

Reference drawing files are drawing files that are inherently linked and that need to be selected together for specific modifications. You can see which drawing files are reference drawing files - they are marked with a paper clip in the third column in the dialog box for selecting drawing files.
When copying or moving data across drawing files results in new links, the program displays a relevant message.

Drawing files are linked when you create associative views and sections of 3D elements in new drawing files.

You can find tools for editing reference drawing files on the shortcut menu of drawing files in the dialog box for selecting drawing files and in the Associative Views module.
If you are about to edit associative views and sections without having loaded the associated reference drawing files, the program displays a relevant message. You can then activate the reference drawing files immediately.
