Copying drawing entities between formats

[jarl_72]

Hello people... I have two questions, of which this is the first one:

How on earth do you copy drawing entities between two formats? I have a format for A3 page sizes with a title box containing several drawing entities (Lines, tables, notes, etc.). I want to create other formats using exactly the same title box, but there's no "copy" between two formats as far as I can tell. I have tried creating symbols, but it doesn't work too well...

So, to the Gurus out there: How do you do that???

Thanks,

JR

u can use the copy and paste between formats.



just select the entities u wish to be copied (formatA), ctrl + c



go to the new format (formatB), ctrl > v



the system will ask you for the 'base point', click the desire base point in formatA and place into formatb by refering to the selected base ponit

Do a save as to formatA and name it FormatB, then stretch the format edges to the new size.

huh.. good techniques looslib



never think about that..

as obvious as it is, there was something going on that prevented me from pasting into the second form... My apologies

Looslib: Your method is quite elegant, but...If you just drag the limits of the page, the tag would not be updated... would that create problems downstream (i.e. when printing)?

Thanks!
