Drawing Explorer

Drawing Explorer provides full information about all objects in drawing:

·         graphic objects;

·         block references, external references, raster images;

·         parameters of drawing settings.

All changes in drawing reflect in Drawing Explorer immediately. You can separately get the information in Explorer (and also in a drawing area) about new objects and about objects changed since last saving.

You can open dialogs for editing parameters and properties of objects directly from Drawing Explorer.

The Insertions subsection displays all Insertions of the current model or paper space: regular, dynamic, and 3D block inserts, xrefs, raster images, underlays, and point clouds.

The Entities subsection displays objects in the current space grouped by type.

If geopoints were imported to the file, a separate section will appear.

The context menu of drawing objects selected in the dialog structure contains commands for managing objects. The list of available actions depends on the type of object or group of objects. You can select objects in the drawing, pan, apply editing commands, turn display on and off in the drawing, delete.
