To Drag Objects Into a Construct

Use this procedure to drag and drop objects from the drawing screen into a construct.

When you create a new construct, you have several choices for adding content to it. You can draw objects within the construct, you can reference elements into a construct, or you can drag and drop objects from other drawing files into a construct.

  1. Open the drawing that contains the objects you want to drag and drop into the construct.

    The drawing containing the objects is not required to be a part of a project.

  2. On the Quick Access toolbar, click Project Navigator .
  3. On the Constructs tab, locate the Construct to which you want to add objects from another drawing file.
  4. In the open drawing file, select the objects you want to drag and drop into the construct.
  5. Move or copy the objects into the construct.
    If you want to… Then…
    move the objects from the open drawing to the construct drag them from the drawing onto the desired construct in the Drawing Explorer.
    copy the objects from the open drawing to the construct press Ctrl and drag them from the drawing onto the desired construct in the Drawing Explorer.
    Note: You can also drop objects on the category to create a new construct containing the objects.
