Hi Ray,

You can use the "Extract" function to bring in things from another project. What do you mean by "Orbit around" - by default in a 3D view, the camera rotates around its focus?

I have managed to get my data in now, thanks.

Yes, I was meaning when an object is selcted that becomes the focal point alowing the user to orbit around the said object freely, Im sort of getting used to the capture way of things now! :)

Is there any reason why the luminaires, that I have placed in paper view, do not show up in CAD View? I positioned them in paper view as there was no way seeing the orientation of the luminaire that I inserted in CAD view?? the luminaire was a 'High End Data Flasher'

also is there anyway that I can simply turn a layer off?

many thanks

Ray

sorry, I ment to say that the luminaires do show in CAD view but not in the same place that I positioned them in paper view..

Hi Ray,

In Paper mode you're not actually moving any objects, only symbols. So, when you move a fixture in Paper mode, you're simply adjusting the position of the symbol. The actual fixture will stay where it was inserted! (There's a function called "Reset transformation" that allows you to reset any such adjustments made in paper mode)

Hi Ray,

In order to do that, follow these steps:
1) Create a layer set (in the design tab)
2) Apply it (you can double click on it to apply it to all views)
3) Turn layers on and off in the layer set
