Cad64 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 If you need to combine two files you can simply select the objects and copy from one drawing with Ctrl+C and paste into the other drawing with Ctrl+V. Another way would be to use the INSERT command and insert one drawing into the other. This will insert the drawing as a block which you can then explode. Another way would be to use the XREF command to insert one drawing into the other. Then, after you reference the file into the drawing you can bind it to make it a permanent part of the drawing. Binding will insert the drawing as a block which you can then explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana W Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Use Ctrl+shift+C to copy the same drawing data from a specific base point then Ctrl+V to the other drawing pasting to a corresponding point or anywhere you like. Also look at AutoCad commands COPYBASE and COPYCLIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
