To Copy Objects to All Layout Cells

You can select an AEC object and, instead of manually anchoring it to a layout cell, you can copy the object and anchor one copy to each cell on the layout grid or volume grid.

  1. Click Home tab Build panel Tools drop-down Content Browser .
  2. Navigate to Stock Tool Catalog Parametric Layout & Anchoring Tools.
  3. Select the Cell Anchor tool, and drag it to the workspace.
    Note: Alternatively, you can enter CELLANCHOR on the command line.
  4. To copy the anchored object to every cell in the layout grid or volume grid, enter c (Copy to each cell).
  5. Select the object.
  6. Select the layout grid or volume grid that you want to copy and anchor the object to.

    If an object is already anchored to any of the cells, you are prompted to specify whether you want to skip cells that already have something anchored to them. Enter y (Yes) to avoid duplicate anchored objects appear in those cells.
