Manage Referenced Settings Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to control which components are referenced into a drawing from an attached reference template.

Use the tabs in the left pane to view and select components to reference. Use the icons to expand or collapse the categories on the tabs and to select all components or clear all selections.

If a component is shown in gray, it is referenced by another component that is currently selected and cannot be unselected.

When you select a component in the left pane, the properties of that component are displayed in the right pane of the dialog box. Those properties are read-only and cannot be edited.

Styles

Use the Styles tab to select the following AutoCAD Civil 3D styles to reference.

• Object styles
• Label styles
• Table styles
• Quantity takeoff criteria
• Pipe and structure rule sets
• Pressure network parts lists
  Note: In order for an imported pressure network parts list to work correctly in the drawing it is imported into, the part catalog that was used to generate that parts list must be set as the current part catalog. Use the Set Pressure Network Catalog command to specify the current part catalog.

All expressions and alignment and profile design check sets are referenced by default.

Note: In the Toolspace Settings tree, styles which have been referenced into the drawing are marked with a paper clip icon:

Settings

Use the Settings tab to select the following AutoCAD Civil 3D settings to reference.

  • Object layers
  • Abbreviations
  • Ambient settings
  • Label style default settings
• Feature settings

Layers

Use the Layers tab to select the AutoCAD layers to reference.

Important: You are not notified if you attempt to edit a referenced AutoCAD component. If you edit a referenced AutoCAD component, the changes will be overwritten the next time the drawing is updated from the reference template.

Other Resources

Use the Other Resources tab to select the AutoCAD blocks, text styles, and line types to reference.

Note: The descriptions of line types and blocks in the AutoCAD Linetype Manager dialog box and Block Definition dialog box indicate whether a component is referenced from a template.

Property Sets

Use the Property Sets tab to select the AutoCAD Civil 3D property sets to reference.

Source

Displays the name and path of the template from which the component is referenced.

If a component exists in more than one attached reference template, the template from which the component is currently being referenced is shown as the default in the Source list. If you want the component to be referenced from another reference template, you can select that reference template from the Source list.
