Re: Work flow - rotating "ucs"

Will these underlays be linked to the "live" drawing (i.e. if changes are made to the "Plan 1" sheet will they appear automatically on the underlay within the "Elevation East" sheet)? Yes, they will be live drawings. Any changes made to the original sheet will be immed...
