Save vector drawing in project database
Let the ‘Save vector drawing in project database’ field checked, unless you want to use the original drawing as the background using an XREF like method.
All image files selected for imports are
saved in the project database anyway.
Note that, in case of using the method of
external reference, when you open a drawing, it is reloaded, resulting in
delays.
Changes in external references are reflected
on the corresponding project drawing, but they have no effect on its measurement
sheets. It is possible that corrections have to be made on the measurement
sheets to coincide with the new version of the drawing.
