How to split a project into multiple files
Posted: Sat Jun 22, 2019 6:22 pm
Hello,
I'm using the 3.22.1.0 community version.
Is it possible to split a project to multiple files, like exporting blocks into separate files?
I'm creating a big planview of our garden/land/plot with a plan view of some new buildings and garden projects.
I'm going to put almost every building and piece into blocks, even if I only use them once.
Now for the front building plans of one of the building, I'm able to repeat the block and create another block side by side for the front and side projection. I do this because the front projection does not fit in the large plan view projection from above.
But this means that I have several paintings in the same file. For printing I put a new description frame around every painting. But I need to reset the printing area every time I print the plan view or the projection view of a single building. The file is growing after I do that with the several projects I start in the planview, which I also need projection views for.
Having all in one file is going to make QCad slow either.
So any idea how to split this into multiple files? Is the only way to create my own library? I would guess as a feature, that if I reference a block from an external file, it gets updates when the external file changes.
Best regards.
