Load Construction Lines & Circles ( Modeling )

Tool summary :

• Adds to your current view construction lines & circles that have been stored in a file.
• Any construction lines/circles that you add or delete in multi-user Modeling environments will be seen by you only.
• Just like other construction lines & circles that you add in Modeling , they will be retained -- for you only -- across Modeling sessions.
• Best results with this operation are achieved if you perform it in a view that is similar to the view from which the construction lines and circles were originally saved. For example, if you originally saved construction lines that intersected the 0, 0 global X, Y coordinates in a full plan view and later loaded that file in another full plan view (at any elevation, in any Job), the construction lines generated in that other view would intersect at the 0, 0 global X, Y coordinates. This, however, would not be true if you loaded that same file in an elevation view.
