You can create, manage, and reference project objects through their source drawings.
A project object is an object that is intended to be shared with others working on a project. A project object is managed through its source drawing, which is the drawing that contains the object.
A project object becomes available to others when the source drawing containing the object is added to or checked in to the project database and the object is selected to be shared.
To include a project object in another drawing, you create a reference to the object. A reference is a read-only copy of the object that you can refer to as if it were the object itself.

Creating Project Objects
Create a project object by adding a source drawing to a project.
When you add or check in a drawing to a project, you can specify which objects (such as surfaces) in the drawing are to be shared.
After a project object has been shared, it is listed in the project’s object collection (such as Surfaces) in the Prospector tree.
You can access a project object’s data in another drawing by creating a read-only copy called a reference.
