breaking pointers in drawings
breaking pointers in drawings
(OP)
Hi all,
I wanted to know if there was a way in which after i get the view i want from a drawing then, i want to break the pointer of the model to the drawing so that if i update the model then the drawing does not get updated.Basically in a nutshell i want to break the bi-directional associativity of the drawing.
Thanks.

Can anyone confirm that option still exists?
The drawings could also be set to Read Only.
Both of those options however, can be easily reset to be associative. Probably the safest and permanent way is to save the drawing to eDrawing, PDF, DWG or DXF format.
