Request
Can I duplicate a graphic drawing?

Answer
In Edificius, it is possible to duplicate or clone a graphic drawing.

How to proceed:
- Select the drawing inserted on the level (for example, the plan symbol or the section line);
- On the top ribbon, choose between the options Duplicate Drawing or Generate Sub-Drawing.


Clicking on Duplicate Drawing will create a new graphic drawing with all the settings and customizations of the original drawing. All objects added to the drawing (2D objects, etc.) will also be copied in the same position.

Clicking on Generate Sub-Drawing will open a window where you can define a specific subtitle for the new drawing.
This function ensures that the identifying symbol of the drawing is not duplicated on the level, so both drawings belong to the same symbol.
Additionally, in the list of drawings, a folder is automatically created containing the two drawings (the original drawing and its clone).
On the cloned drawing, besides the main drawing title, the subtitle defined at the time of creation will also appear.
