Importing Layouts imports EVERYTHING

Only thing that should come with the layouts are the layers in the layouts. And definitely not materials. It feels like it does a lot of extra work to get all the extra stuff too.

@keithscadservices I’ve also wondered about the incoming block definitions, when importing layouts… per layout over and over again “Do you want to replace the block?”

Hi Keith -

Just to make sure, only the layers or also the objects on those layers?
We have that on the list as RH-83444 ImportLayout: Options Layout Layers Only

Hi Toni -

That’s on the list as the non-public RH-47840 and RH-79624 Layout panel - import over does it.

You are correct. Just like AutoCAD.

I think the import from AutoCAD works perfectly. Even the print settings (I think haven’t fully checked!!). That’s a nice surprise.

What I’ve done is just created a clean file with the title blocks and their geometry only. It makes it a little trickier to develop standards on the fly but no biggie.
