Combining Two Drawings You can add the contents of another drawing to the current drawing by merging. If the drawing you want to merge was created in a program other than AutoSketch, you must first import the drawing and save it in AutoSketch (SKF) format. For information about importing drawing files, see "Importing & Exporting" in online Help. When you merge two files, AutoSketch ignores duplicated layer names, field names, and symbol definitions. For example, if the current drawing and the drawing you merge both have layers named "Walls," but the settings for that layer are not the same, AutoSketch uses the settings for the current drawing. 38 | Chapter 4 Opening & Saving Drawings
