Grabbing information from a DWG drawing

Post by rona » Fri Dec 03, 2021 3:22 am

How do I grab part of a DWG drawing and import that into QCAD? Is there a cut and paste feature that I'm missing?

Hi,

When the document in question is indeed a DWG file one can simply copy a selection to another drawing.

Displayed entities may still reside on layers that are locked, see Layer List.
Before one can select such entities, their layers need to be unlocked.

With a selection it should be a plain copy/paste. :wink:

Regards,
CVH
