To Add Points to a Project

You can use the Add To Project command to add points to a project so they can be accessed by others.

You can add some or all of the points in a drawing to a project. Before you can add drawing points to a project, you must save the drawing. If the drawing has not been saved, the Add to Project command is not available.

If the drawing contains one or more project objects, the points are added to the project that the existing project objects belong to. If the drawing does not contain project objects, you are prompted to select a project.

You can access the Add To Project command not only from the drawing’s Points list view, but also from a drawing point group’s context menu.
