Can I override the basepoints of project files when referencing them in other
project files?
No. This is standard AutoCAD behavior.
Can I lock constructs and elements in their position to avoid accidentally
moving them?
Yes. If you want to lock an element or construct within the building model,
lock the layer the element or construct has been inserted on.
Is there an easy way to copy an element to multiple constructs at once?
Yes. Select the element in the Drawing Explorer, right-click, and click Attach
Element to Constructs. For detailed instructions, see Referencing an Element
into Multiple Constructs on page 400.
Is there an easy way to copy a construct to multiple levels at once?
Yes. There are 2 methods of achieving this, which are described in Copying
a Level with Assigned Constructs on page 367 and Copying Constructs to Levels
on page 392.
How do I move constructs from one level to another?
To move a construct to a different level, change its level assignment. Select
the construct, right-click, and click Properties in the context menu. Then,
choose a different level in the Assignments matrix. For detailed instructions,
see Changing the Properties of a Construct on page 404.
Will wall cleanups work across walls from different divisions?

Will AEC dimensions work with objects from external references?
Yes. AEC dimensions are capable of dimensioning objects from external
references, even when they are nested. For detailed information, see
