Converting a Drawing to a Construct
You may have drawing files in AutoCAD Architecture that you want to convert
into constructs. When you convert a drawing into a construct:
â– The drawing file is either moved, copied, or connected via a link to the
project category you specify.
â– You assign a level and a division to the construct.
â– If necessary, you give the construct a different name, and add a description
to it.
There are 2 ways to convert a drawing file into a construct: you can open the
drawing file in AutoCAD Architecture and save it as a construct, or you can
drag a drawing file from Windows Explorer to the Project Navigator.
