Compatible with AutoCAD Versions: 2000, 2000i, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010

COPY OBJECTS TO (ANOTHER) FLOOR'S LAYERS

This command copies objects from one floor's layers to the same layers on another floor level. You may select an entire floor or just a few items and they will be copied to the chosen floor. If the layers of the new floor do not exist they will be created prior to copying. When the command comes across objects on layers without any floor designation you will be given the option to not copy them or to enter the layers that those objects should be copied to.

User configurable options:

• Number of characters (1, 2, or 3) that designate floor level
• Character that designates basement level

See "CPY2FLR" Command in the Floor Plan Cmds section of the APS-CONFIG command. 

Layers:

• This command places copies of objects selected on a layer of the same name but with a different floor level designation. 

Examples:  (Assumes that objects are being copied to the third level)

Layer name of object being copied	Layer new copied object will be on
1-TEXT	3-TEXT
A-TEXT-1	A-TEXT-3
A-TEXT-01	A-TEXT-03
A-TEXT-001	A-TEXT-003
A-WALL-1HRR-01	A-WALL-1HRR-03
A1-WALLS	A3-WALLS
M02-MECH-GRILL	M03-MECH-GRILL

Known limitations:

• Layer names must use the number of characters for the floor level that is configured in the APS-CONFIG command.
• Other numbers in the layer name may confuse the command and result in strange layer names. (Numbers shorter than the number configured in the APS-CONFIG command will not confuse the command, only ones long enough to be mistaken as the floor level can cause confusion.)

• Submit a limitation not listed.

Alternate uses:

• None reported. If you have an alternate use for this command submit it here.

Command:
Command: C2F
Command: CPY2FLR

Select objects:

Select the objects that you want copied. The following dialog appears:

 

Enter or select the desired floor level to copy the objects to. 

Note: You must use the number of characters specified in the  "CPY2FLR" Command section of the Floor Plan Cmds section of the APS-CONFIG command.

--the objects are copied to the desired floor's layers--

[If a layer does not have a valid floor designation]

If while copying a layer does not have a valid floor designation (for example you have a common layer that does not specify floor level) the following dialog will appear: (the layer name will vary)

When this occurs you have two options: you may specify the layer to copy the objects to, or you may select to not copy any objects that are on this layer. 

Note: If you do not change the layer shown in the edit box and press the "Use Above Layer" button the objects will be copied to the same layer as the original so you will have two identical objects on the same layer.

[end - If a layer does not have a valid floor designation]
