About Transferring Information Between Open Drawings

Copy and paste drawing objects between drawings that are open in a single session.

When you open several drawings in a single session, you can perform many operations that can involve some or all of the open drawings.
  • Reference other drawings.
  • Copy and paste between drawings.
  • Drag selected objects from one drawing to another with the right-click button on your pointing device.
  • Use Match Properties (MATCHPROP) to copy properties from objects in one drawing to objects in another drawing.
  • Use object snaps, the Copy with Basepoint (COPYBASE) command, and the Paste to Original Coordinates (PASTEORIG) command to ensure accurate placement.
