This video learn to attach the external references in our drawing.
So right now we have this floor plan.
And in this floorplan we have this as the front direction.
Also this is that easy to you but not you and the rest.
Now we have made some different views which we will insert in this drawing as an external reference.
So I'll first minimize destroying and or look at the drawings which we will include in this drawing
as acts of reference.
So here we have this East elevation and also the front elevation.
Now we'll include both of these drawings as external references so I'll go to this drawing again and
now go to this insert Dabb.
Now on this tab there is a pallet here references palette and all the tools which are related to external
references can be found here.
In order to start attaching the files you need to click on this attach icon Alternatively you can also
use its command equivalent and that is attach.
So I click on this again and now scroll down this view and make sure that desktop is selected or whatever
the location from where you want to include your drawing that should be selected.
Now we have this East elevation let's look at this and click on open now we have this attach external
reference window in this window.
The first thing that you need to look is this one the drawing name.
And if you want to change it you can click on the browser and locate a new drawing.
Now we have a preview here which is not very clear for this case but if the drawing has been sealed
with the zoomed view you can see that preview here.
Now in this case the scale has been set to 1 for all the x y and z axis.
That means the regional scale will be retained.
If you want to change that you can do that here.
You can change it in different axis or and if you want to keep it uniform in all the access you can
click on this checkbox.
Also we have an insertion point option here and it is selected as you specify on screen so I'll keep
it checked.
We want to specify the insertion point on the screen.
Now here we have an option of a reference type.
So now we have these two reference types the attachment and overly in case of attachment the external
references will be attached and all the additional references which are again advised in the external
reference will be included.
So you can simply see that if you select the attachment radio button all the external defense file and
all of its nested files will be attached.
But in case of or really only the selected ex-staff will be attached and the nested one of the files
will be left out.
Now let's look at this option here which is the BART type.
Now this one is quite important here in this case the relative power option is selected and this is
a new enhancement in Autocad 2008 version.
So prior to this the portal was selected as full part now part and full part two parts which you can
assign to your external references and by default relative pop is selected if you select the relative
box.
The portal will start from the directory where your drawing is saved and it will go outwards.
So one of that one page off using a relative part is the source of files will not be lost even when
the drive changes.
For example if there is a renaming of drive or if some of the drawings are moved that will not affect
the external references and the doyenne will still be able to find out the data files.
But in case a full body of the driver is changed the drawing will become unable to find out the drawings
which are attached.
So it's always recommended to keep it relative.
But although you can select footpod or no part from this and drop down.
Now here we have the rotation angle.
You can change if you want.
And here we have some video.
So click on sure.
And that will show you the sieved parts.
That's the relative part.
You can see this dot here which indicates the directory in which your primary drawing you see which
is the next stop.
And also the external references are in the same directory.
That's why we don't have anything else after that.
And with that we have this East elevation or GWG which is the x ray which we are going to attach.
Now if you change the still active part the full part.
Here we have the drive letter included and that will include the complete part.
And now in this case if there is any change in any of these sub folders or the drive letter the drawing
will not be able to find Be easy to elevation or GWG external reference and that would create a lot
of trouble if you are migrating or drawing later on.
So it's always recommended to keep it to our collective part of it.
All of these settings.
Click on Oakey and here on the go so we have this extra difference.
So let's click here.
And here we have the east elevation.
Now when you look closely you'll find out that the feeling is that in this extra drop friends in this
case the transparency has been increased so that it looks dulled when compared to the original drawing
you can control the feeling of these external differences from the differences palette.
So click on this reference.
And here we have the extra feeding which is set to 50 percent.
So you can increase the slider if you want to make it even dim and if you want to make it bright you
can decrease this light in here.
So I'll keep it at 50 percent.
The default value now also whenever you attach an external reference.
You'll see this external reference icon on the state as bad.
So that indicates that your current drawing has external references.
And you can click on this manage exit if I can to open this external reference palette about which we'll
learn in a moment.
So let's go to the second attachment so we can attach and I'll include the second one the front elevation
and included with the same settings in this drawing.
Now here we have the front elevation as well.
So we have this main drag drawing the floor plan and also two external references attached here.
