Adds model elements to selected views.
Note:
The functionality does not modify the scale or limits of the selected views. If the
added elements are outside of the current view limits, they will not be visible. However,
the view drawlist is updated accordingly and if you adjust the view scale or view
limits correctly, the added elements become visible.
The QuickAdd window allows you to highlight the currently selected views and define the model elements that are added to the views.
The QuickAdd window is populated using the currently selected views on the drawing canvas when opened.
