Reusable blueprints

A blueprint is a reusable piece of a drawing, from one device to a connected group with notes, images, and backgrounds.

A draft is a separate workspace

A blueprint draft has its own canvas and inspector. Use N to start a device draft. Add devices, ports, connections, and other drawing content, or paste a selection from your project. Choose Save as Blueprint, enter a name, then Save Blueprint to keep it in your library. Place on canvas attaches the draft to the pointer; click to place it.

Placing a blueprint creates a new copy of its contents without bringing in its pages. Slug values, including cable numbers and reservations, are cleared for the new copy.

Browse blueprint library... opens the library on your computer. Choose a saved blueprint and use Place, then click on the canvas to place it. Blueprints are .wpr files stored separately from the project, so sending a drawing does not include your library.
