Use one of the following methods to edit a drawing:
- Double-click on the drawing to display the Edit Drawing dialog.
- Right-click in an empty space in the drawing to display the
Drawing context menu. The context menu contains standard options such as select, copy, paste and delete, as well as the following:
Note: If you try to delete model geometry in a drawing view, the geometry is blanked from the view rather than being deleted from the model.
Paste Special — Attaches the copied geometry to the cursor and does not paste until you click the position you want.
Convert — Displays the Convert Drawing dialog. This option exports a 2D wireframe representation of a drawing to a view or another model. The drawing can be converted to an open model or to a new model. Using this option is the preferred alternative to converting views on drawings within a model. Specify Convert settings on the Drafting > Views > General page of the Options dialog.
Update — Update the out-of-date views on the drawing.
Update all Drawings — Update all out-of-date views in the model.
Modify Text — Select this option to display the Text Editor dialog. This contains the text names and strings included on the drawing.
Use this dialog to change the strings on the drawing in one of the following ways:
- Enter the text into the String column of the dialog. Click Apply to make the substitution.
- Use the
Import from file
button to import a
.csv
file that contains substitution text strings. The format of the file is
Text Name,String
as follows:
Name_1,Substitution_1
Name_2,Substitution_2
Name_n,Substitution_n
