So sometimes it's nice to copy and paste annotation from one drawing to the next.
2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:14,400
Unfortunately there's not a quick and dirty way to copy and paste but it's possible. So for example
3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:22,080
on this west elevation here we have all these text leaders and dimensions and I'd like to copy them
4
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:30,400
to this section which is essentially the same section but it's cut further back in the x
5
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,320
direction but you can see that the orientation is the same. So what I want to do again is take
6
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,120
all the annotation from this drawing and transfer it to the other one. So
7
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:51,519
we're going to take dimensions first. Select just any one dimension and then you can click the
8
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:58,960
object type there. It selects all of them and then you click control and get the text leader
9
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,720
here and then click on the object type there. So now I have all the text leaders and all the
10
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,600
dimensions in that drawing and so I'm going to do a shift d
11
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,360
and you can see them duplicated. I'm just going to right click to
12
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,240
duplicate them in place and I'm going to
13
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,160
move them now. You see how it's highlighted in the outlier. I'm going to move them down
14
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:35,120
click and hold and drag them into that drawing. So that's the first step. The next step is to
15
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:46,160
assign those annotations to the drawing group.
16
00:01:48,720 --> 00:02:00,080
So west I believe it was this one right here garage west. So I'm going to click on here,
17
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,520
assign to group,
18
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,199
and then go back to your object properties
19
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,520
and under miscellaneous there and groups. I'm going then now to delete the
20
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,200
other one the entry west group
21
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,920
and now hopefully if I go activate that drawing
22
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:37,760
all those copied annotations should now be yes in that drawing there. So depending on the depth of
23
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:46,240
the two cameras for the drawings you might have to after doing this you might have to move the
24
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:54,160
actual annotation in the z relative to the drawing. You'll know that is when you do this and you're
25
00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:00,720
trying to select an annotation you can't select it that means that it's probably behind the camera
26
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:14,240
and you got to just move it so it's in front of the camera.
