Hi Dave-
apologize if I am missing the mark here, but I missed some basics for some time, so hoping this helps.
Are you starting with in: ELEVATIONS/ VIEWS/ TOP and doing a "save as" new drawing.....call it birds eye or whatever
now open the new drawings from your "drawings" area- you now have a generic line drawing that you can edit and do whatever you want with. With this, the "dynamic" properties are gone just like when you generate elevations into line drawings, so do it as late in the process as possible
hopefully this helps. maybe you were looking for a more sophisticated way to do the same thing- I am just the poster child for missing the easy way and then working up from there
The books/help are virtually useless, so don't give up asking. Lots of experienced professionals here
