How to import a lighting dwg into RCP

[sbrown]

I can't see the plan since it gets placed on level one, has anyone figured out a way to place a dwg and see it in reflected ceiling plan?

Place it in plan, and then in your RCP, set the underlay to Level One Plan. Now you can see your DWG, place your lights, then get rid of that AutoCAD DWG!

One for the (overlooked ) tips file Scotty.

Scott, that is what I did for a workaround, but in this case I don't even want to place the lights, I just wanted to use the dwg thats allready done for mech/elec. and not recreate everything that is allready perfect. Also if they make a change then I want to just reload the link.

So basically I would just turn on the lighting and duct layers and do my own ceilings.

So I think I need a wishlist item for an imaginary plane in RCP to place dwg's on. I didn't try current view only, I'll try that now.

Current view only works and crop regions now work in 6.0 with current view only files!!!!!!
