Update a position with drawings?

Is this possible: I make the constructions of a house. Then I send the position to my assistant, so she can make the 2D production drawings for this position. When she is finished, and she send back the position to me, can I update my old position with her drawings?

Can I do that if I have made changes in the constructions (and of course keep these changes)?

But, if I send the position to somebody else, who make changes (like making drawings). Then she send the position back to me. Then when I put the position into Dietrichs, can I then overwrite my existing position - and then I can access her drawings, correct them, print them etc...? Lets say in this case I have not been into the position in Dietrichs 3D construction in the meanwhile.

To just copy the plf files would maybe be best - but not possible, since she will be sitting in Lithuania and I in Denmark, most of the time...

She will not be working on the 3D (i.e. making changes in structures). Her only job is to make drawings. So if she go into the 3D model, then it will only be to take pictures or to take out wall drawings and stuff like that.

So probably I could replace the position on my computer, if she send it to me, since the drawings that she have made then will be there?

How she will do that, Der_Planer?

Yeeahhh But I would like to have explained how she is going to send me the plans, so I can put them in my position. I even don't know how to do it, and she is totally new in Dietrichs (one day old...)

So t.ex. she should find this file for position 22: 07152022.plf, and send to me? Why she should compress it?

And where is "Dietrich's Menu (3-2)"??

It is not possible that we both can work on the same position (making drawings for the same position) - I guess this will not be posible.

Another option could be that she is working on a copy of the position, and then she can just send that position to me directly from the start window of Dietrichs. And then we could split the drawings between us, if we need to finish that position faster.

So - for example - if she makes drawing (plan number) 1 - 50, and I make number 101 - 148, then if she send me the drawings 1 - 50, then I in my library of drawings will have both her and my drawings??

The menu 3-2 seems to be on project level - while the plf files can be taken on position level? The plf files seems only to be 200-300 kB.

I tried to send the plf files to me, but when I want to save it in the project directory, it says that the file already exist - Why - since I have not maked any drawings for that position?? And can I just overwrite it without any problems??

Does anyone know if it will be ok to say "ok" to overwrite an exisiting plf-file??

Now I tried to save the plf-file, that I attached to an e-mail on her computer. And I saved it in the project folder under the specifik project. But the drawings are not there, when I open D-Cad.

Is this method not working?

And if I / she use the menu 3-2, I guess that it is all drawings for the whole project that is packed.

I would like to have it so, that she only send me drawings for the position that she worked on.

Here is absolutely something for the wish list. It seems to be too difficult to work with exchanging drawings. In AutoCad, a drawing is a file, that you easily can attach to an e-mail. I would suggest, that when you are where you open positions, and you have the posibility to pack and e-mail a position: In this roll down menu where you can choose "e-mail attachment" there could be these options:
- e-mail attachment 3D position
- e-mail attachment position drawings

In this way it would be very nice and easy to exchange drawings!!

Jens Krause: I tried now the function 3-2 and packed D-Cad storages. But I cannot find *.zl1 files but *.zla I can find. Is that the file I should send to my computer. Or maybe it was not "D-Cad storages" I should pack, but the secon option "drawings"?????

Now I tried also second option "drawings", but even zipped the file is 45 mb, and her computer freezed when trying to send with e-mail.

:x

Now I really don't know what to do!! Of course she can just make PDF-file of the drawings and send to me, but that is not what I want. I want to be able to open the drawings on my computer, if I need to make changes, etc.

Anyone can see a solution???
