How to combine/merge multiple drawings into a single drawing file

NgocNguyen_28_0-1759740295325.png

As autocad. I have many 2D drawings, each drawing is a .DWR file. Is there any tool in the Drawing interface of Creo 12 to quickly combine many drawings into one DWR file? Thanks

No.

Why would you think there is a tool in Creo to manipulate Autocad drawings? Can you "combine" drawings in AUtocad in the way you want to? If so, then use AutoCAD.

 

My company is only using Creo for 2D and 3D, So, I need to check as My customer AutocCAD Drawing sending

In Toolkit you can Merge two Creo drawings.

 

extern ProError ProDrawingMerge (ProDrawing drawing, ProDrawing merge_drawing);
/*
    Purpose: Merge two drawing
    <P>         
    <B>NOTE:</B> After using ProDrawingMerge(), the handle to the second drawing is lost.
     Use ProMdlRetrieve() to get the handle again.        
    <P> 
    Input Arguments:
        drawing - drawing handle
        merge_drawing - The drawing handle to be merged.

    Output Arguments:
        none

    Return Values:
        PRO_TK_NO_ERROR - The function succeeded.
        PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS - One or more input arguments was invalid.
        PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERROR - The function failed

*/

 

@KenFarley take care with your answer 🙂

Because you can Merge!

Procedure of "merging" Drawings

1. Open a drawing.
2. Click Layout >
 
Import Drawing/Data. The Open dialog box opens.
3. Select the source file to merge into the current drawing. When you select a file, the source file is merged into the current (target) file.
4. Select additional source files to be merged, one at a time, to add additional sheets to the current drawing.

But my understanding of the question was that they wanted to merge Autocad drawings to produce a merged Autocad drawing. They asked for one DWR file, which is the Autocad extension.

You would ask the AutoCAD community how to merge multiple Creo drw file into a single one, okay. I wouldn’t do that 🧐 😉😀

I didn't say that. Thus the reason for my inquiry.

Sorry for me dwr was a char typo instead of drw which is the extension for a Creo drawing. I knew for AutoCAD the dwg extension. Do you have an example/Link for the dwr extension related to AutoCAD?
