Copy Drawing and Remove All DM Entities

The Copy Drawing and Remove All DM Entities command is used to make a copy of a drawing with all of the Design Master Photometrics entities on it erased.

This command is useful when you want to create a new drawing with the same settings as an existing drawing in the project. Using other methods, the copied drawing will copy the Design Master Photometrics entities. Cleaning up these extra devices can cause problems if not done correctly. This command will remove all of the devices for you, leaving you with a new drawing that you can immediately start using.

To copy a drawing and remove all of the Design Master Photometrics entities, go to
Ribbon: DM Photometrics→Utilities→  â†’Copy Drawing and Remove All DM Entities
Pulldown Menu: DM Photometrics→Utilities→Copy Drawing and Remove All DM Entities

Save Drawing as Dialog Box​

Select a location for the copy, enter a file name, and press the button. A copy of the current drawing will be made using the new name. All of the Design Master Photometrics entities on the new drawing will be erased.

The project database will not be modified during this command.
