Import a reference object into the active drawing.
A project object can be referenced into the active drawing, which is called the consumer drawing.
Before referencing a project object, the current drawing must be saved.
Only one copy of a reference object can be imported into a consumer drawing. If a reference copy exists, the referencing menu option is not available.
Objects can be referenced only from the active project, which is listed in Toolspace, on the Prospector tab.
Tutorial Exercise: Referencing Data Shortcuts
- In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the Data Shortcuts collection to find the object you want to reference.
- Right-click the object. Click Create Reference. A copy of the object is inserted into the active drawing.
