Copy Objects to Paper Space

Use the Copy to Sheet command to copy objects from any view to a plan set, sheet set, or custom sheet. Doing this can help you:

  • Move a title block that you inadvertently imported into model space into paper space/from the Plan View into a Sheet View.
  • Move paper space objects to the correct level, e.g., from the plan set level down to the sheet set level.

Prerequisites:

To access the command:

To copy objects to a sheet view:

  1. Open the view that shows the objects you want to move. This can be any view.
  2. Open a Sheet View and select the level at which you want to place the copied objects.

    Tip: You may want to right-click the tab of one of the views and select Move to ...Group so you can see both of the views next to each other.

  3. From the Objects to move box, select the objects that you want to copy in the first view.

    Note: Using [Control] + A to select objects to copy may select hidden objects that you do not intend to copy. 'Windowing' around just the objects you want to copy is recommended.

  4. In the Sheet list, select the sheet level at which you want to paste the copied objects.
  5. Click Apply. The copied objects appear at the same coordinate (as in model space) in the Sheet View you chose.
  6. If desired, delete the objects from the original view they were in.

Dependencies:

  • None; if you leave the objects in the original view, any edits you make to them do not affect the copies in the the new Sheet View.
