Constructs are the unique building blocks of your building. Usually a complete floor.
Elements are objects or groups of objects that are repeated over and over in a drawing set such as a typical bathroom layout.
There are times when you have created something as a construct and then you need to use it several different [...]
Project Navigator automatically sets up Xrefs. When used correctly all things work well. But you do NOT want to use the Xref Attach commands apart from PNav.
The Manage Xrefs button on the Drawing Status Bar will alert you if a change is made to one of the Xrefs you are using and you can reload [...]
Totally cool interactive demo for ADT 2007 on the Autodesk site. You may see it as a blatant sales pitch, but it does address some of the questions that most non-users may ask. I am all for getting as much info as I can about the tools I choose or am looking into purchasing. [...]
