Hey everybody,
In todays video I go over how to copy linework, text, blocks etc.. from one drawing to another. This great little trick will save you tons of time and effort!

why bother re drawing anything you've already done before. Just open of the old drawing and copy what you'd like to the new one.

If you have any questions at all just leave me a comment!

Cheers,
Brandon

hi brandon,
how can I change the color of my text on the drawing as well as the dimension numbers without the need of changing them separately one by one?
cheers

ty for help. I want to ask a question I didnt find an answer for a week in the Internet. I draw house project for my studies and i want to draw hatch and to hatch some stuff but then I draw hatch it doesnt draw correctly or doestn draw at all, what I see is a solid filled colour. for example I use simple bricks pattern but it just doestn draw. Then I tried first time I needed
to zoom a lot to see hatching but then I tried to hatch next time it didnt draw at all. :((( any ideas? Some ppl told me to change a scale but I just cant because i cant see my hatching. It is hard to explain it you must see it..
