You can detach a drawing from a project to sever the connection between the drawing and all project data.
A drawing must be open to be detached from a project. When you detach a drawing from a project, all references in the drawing to shared project objects are replaced with object data that can be edited.
When a drawing contains a project object, such as a reference to a project surface, the project object is promoted to a surface object that has no reference back to the original source drawing that its geometry it based on. You can edit the promoted surface, but you cannot rebuild it based on the original source data.
To detach a drawing from a project
- In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, in the Open Drawings collection, right-click the drawing you want to detach.
- Click Detach Project.
