Add a Drawing to a Sheet
With this function a view drawing, for example, a section view, an elevation view or a floor plan is added on a drawing sheet. You can also add the reference drawings that are shown in the floor plan to the sheet. First, open the drawing sheet on which you wish to add a drawing.
