When you save objects to a new drawing, you create a copy of the current drawing, including objects, options, queries, and attached drawings. If you queried objects from attached drawings, the original objects are unchanged in the attached drawings.
To save objects to a new drawing
- Run a query to retrieve the objects. Use Draw mode to copy the retrieved objects to the current drawing.
- Click
Save AsAutoCAD Drawing. - Enter a name for the new drawing.
- If prompted to save objects to attached source drawings, do not do so at this time, since this removes them from the current drawing.
