Copying settings
A particularly powerful feature of the IntelliCAD Explorer is its capability of copying many of the settingslayers, linetypes, text styles, coordinate systems, views, blocks, or dimension stylesfrom one drawing to another. If you have more than one drawing open, the IntelliCAD Explorer makes it easy to reuse information. For example, when you copy layers from one drawing to another, the layer names as well as their linetypes, colors, and other settings are also copied, but not the entities on those layers.
To copy layers from one open drawing to another open drawing
- Do one of the following:
- Choose Settings > Explore Layers.
- On the Settings toolbar, click the Explore Layers tool (
