DRAWING-PASTE AT CORD
DRAWING-PASTE AT CORD
(OP)
at my old company when I copied text or lines from 1 drawing and pasted them into a new drawing we had a mapkey set up so it pasted them at the exact same coordinates
can anyone help me figure out how to do this
thanks

sometimes i copy lines from one drawing to the next and would like them to line up exactly
this can be done
RE: DRAWING-PASTE AT CORD
Try this one out:
CODE
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `ProCmdEditCopy.edit_t`;\
mapkey(continued) @MANUAL_PAUSESelect Destination sheet and click to continue;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `ProCmdEditPaste.edit_t`;#ABS COORDS;0;0;\
mapkey(continued) #ABS COORDS;0;0;
To use it: Pick the note, then activate the mapkey. A dialog will pop up telling you to pick the destination sheet and click to continue. So you need to switch to the drawing/sheet, and make sure you click on the sheet itself so that the paste button isn't grey. Then when you click to resume, it will automatically reference the 0,0 coordinate of each sheet.
Thanks for the idea, I'm adding this one to my arsenal :)
RE: DRAWING-PASTE AT CORD
what i am trying to do i take notes or geometry from 1 drawing into a completely new drawing
also the mapkey i used went like this
1. highlight notes, geom, views or anything
2. right click hit copy click off
3. go to new sheet or new drawing
4. launch mapkey
this worked with pro intralink having two dif work spaces going 2 dif drawings if any of this info helps
RE: DRAWING-PASTE AT CORD
If you want to copy just the view (as is.. no link back to the model), you can select the view and hit Edit-->Convert to Draft Entities.
Then you can execute the mapkey and plug the geometry on its own into a new drawing. But.. you lose all associativity. I do something similar when I make a layout file from an existing Pro/E model.
RE: DRAWING-PASTE AT CORD
mapkey pac @MAPKEY_LABELpaste at coordinates;\
mapkey(continued) ~ `Edit`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `Edit.psh_dwg_paste`;#ABS COORDS;0;0;#ABS COORDS;0;\
mapkey(continued) 0;
after you high light and copy a note line etc...
create this mapkey it will let you paste at abs coord from any sheet to sheet or any drawing to any drawing
