PN and Arch backgrounds

[tweitzel]

Hello to All,
We are using AutoCAD MEP 2008 over a network. In the past we would scrub or clean up Architectural drawings. Now that we are using the project navigator how can I make this more automatic?

Oh and by the way this is my first post!!!!!!!

Welcome to Augi, and congrats on the First post.
Anyway, I'm not sure what you mean by "scubbing" the drawings. If you just need to clean them Ie purge, audit, delete Reg apps...... That's going to go about the same way.
If you need to change how they look, I'd look at Display Reps. I think there was an ATP course on how to set that up. Then you just need to change to that display rep and Blamo, everything in the Arch x-ref is screened.
I'm not sure if that's what you are looking to do, but.....
Hope it helps.

Dave, Thanks
You are correct blamo is what i am looking for, i will look at the display reps...

Take a look at the ATP archives, I believe there was a coure for setting up mep drawings with Arch background using PN and Display reps. If I find a litle more time I can try to find it for you, but it's friday and you know what that means. Deadlines.

My bad they were labeled as "Display Themes"

Tim, if you don't mind I think I'll try to get the Mod here for the CM formun to move your thread to the PN forum as I think it may be better served there.
