Load Reference Into Scene
File > Load Reference Into Scene...  


Description:

      The Load Reference Into Scene command (File > Load Reference Into Scene...) is similar to the Load Into Scene command, however the geometry will exist as an instance of the geometry in the reference file. Thus when the file from which the reference is taken is edited, any project containing the file as a reference will load the updated shape. You may scale or rotate or move the imported reference, but you cannot edit it by vertex, edge, or face unlesss you de-instantiate it with the De-Instantiate Instance command.  You can import any of the supported file types as a reference.


Notes:

-Supported file types are: *.sia, *.obj, *.3ds, and *.dxf.
