Example: You have separate drawings for each quadrant of a town. You create

a main drawing and attach the other drawings, and then view all water mains

in the town or all emergency routes.

NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. To filter geospatial feature

data with a query, see

Filtering Features When You Add Them to a Map (page

309).

You can save the queried objects back to their attached drawings by adding

them to the save set before you edit them. When you save the current drawing,

AutoCAD Map 3D prompts you to save the objects in the save set back to their

attached drawings. If you do not add modified objects to the save set, you can

save the modifications to the current drawing or to a new drawing, but the

changes are not saved back to the attached drawings.

Markup objects are not added to the save set. To copy them from the current

drawing to an attached drawing, open the attached drawing directly. Copy

the markup objects in the current drawing and paste them into the other

drawing.

WARNING If you work with an attached drawing from a previous release and

save back your changes, AutoCAD Map 3D updates the attached drawing to the

current format. To retain the attached drawing in the previous drawing format,

do not save back your changes.
