Importing of files can be done in three ways:
Importing of DXF/DWG file into a project
If we import into an active a 2D floor plan with the File menu - Import command, the Merge to current drawing option is the default setting. The same applied when you use the drag & drop method. This way the unnecessary increasing of the number of 2D floor plan windows can be avoided.
If we import into an active 3D window, the two methods work different:
In case of File menu - Import command the Merge to current drawing option is the default, the drawing will be imported to a given drawing. When you use the drag & drop method, the drawing will be loaded into a newly created window.
&See the Chapter 4.4.2. DXF/DWG import/export.
Importing of ASC file into a project
If we import into an active a 2D floor plan with the File menu - Import command, the Merge to current drawing option is switched off by default, therefore a new window will be created. In case of drag & drop method the drawing will be imported into a given drawing.
If we import into an active 3D window with the File menu - Import command, the Merge to current drawing option is switched off by default, therefore a new window will be created. Also, in case of drag & drop method, a new window will be created and the drawing will be loaded there.
If name conflict occurs at new window generation, the new window name will be generated by the concatenation of the original file name and the extension of .1.
&See the Chapter 4.4.1. ASC Import.
ASC file import from project into project
If the drawing to be loaded is part of project, the Import command can’t be used. In this case, use the Open Project command, and select the Import file and Merge to current drawing option.
&See the Chapter 4.2.2. Opening project – Import file option.
