Drawing Editor - Miscellaneous Facilities

Miscellaneous facilities available in the Drawing Editor enable you to:

• map the Draft layers onto user-defined AutoCAD layers;

• control layer visibility and the susceptibility of layers to regenerate operations;

• apply AVEVA standard colours to Draft layers;

• load text from a file onto a drawing;

• copy/resize part of a drawing;

• create/select paper space viewports;

• leave AutoCAD avoiding the AutoCAD main menu.

These operations, and the different ways of performing them, are described below.

The available options allow you to turn Draft and user-defined layers on and off, and to ‘freeze’ and ‘thaw’ them, enabling you to distinguish easily the Draft and non-Draft parts of the AutoCAD drawing.
