To Save Drawing Properties to the Project File

The changes you make to the configuration of the current drawing are saved on the invisible WD_M block of the drawing. You can save a copy of these settings to the project file. It makes the settings available as defaults for new drawings that you might add later to the project.

  3. Click Match Project to make the settings of the drawing match the project defaults or click Match Drawing to make the settings of the project match the settings of the current drawing.
  4. Click OK.
