Hello,

 

I am making details for a project (brackets, framing, etc.). I was wondering how to insert details that I have made in drawings into a single drawing with the same scale. Any help will be appreciated.

MULTI-DRAWING tool might be what you're after ... combines multiple files into single drawing ... different scales possible for each file..

 

also PLAN SETS ... similar idea..

When drawing details I would draw them at full scale. But how do I label, dimension or note them that I can have them at different scales if needed?  That part has always limited me with getting a good set of details.  Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.

There is a two page thread on this topic..

It's in Softplan 2016.. title of thread is something like "how to do detail drawings"

I.just bumped the tread to.the top .. lots of great info in that thread..

Be sure to flip to the first page of the thread, as I.think.it opens to the latest entry, on the second page..

Thanks Tom.  I remembered it somewhere but only found this one via a search.
