Quick Reference

You can easily transfer information between drawings that are open in a single session.

When you open multiple drawings in a single session, you can

• Reference other drawings.
• Copy and paste between drawings.
• Drag selected objects from one drawing to another with the right-click button on your pointing device.
• Use Match Properties (MATCHPROP) to copy properties from objects in one drawing to objects in another drawing.
• Use object snaps, the Copy with Basepoint (COPYBASE) command, and the Paste to Original Coordinates (PASTEORIG) command to ensure accurate placement.
