Hello,
Customer has following problem with DWG file in TBC:
After importing the project in DWG – XXX.dwg, there is a project with about 250 layers. We are only interested in one, e.g. layer A. We will mark this and transfer it to a new layer, e.g. Roads. In the properties of the lines in the new Roads layer, however, we see that ownership of the lines still belongs to XXX.dwg. So when we delete the imported file, we also delete everything that was imported with the file, including the lines in the Roads layer.
The question is: Can we transfer ownership of a given line to a TBC in progress? How to proceed so that we don't lose superimposed data?

Copy or Offset the lines should work.  Creating a new entity unrelated to the DWG.

If you isolate the layer with the items you want, and then copy those lines and relayer them to your "Roads" layer, your new lines will not be associated with the CAD file. In the Copy "From:" and "To:" Fields, enter "0,0" and "0,0" so the lines maintain their current location.

If you have AutoCAD, you can open the file and isolate the layer with the lines you are looking for and run the "WBLOCK" command. This will create a CAD file limited to the objects and layers you have selected. Then you wouldn't need to delete the CAD file in TBC to get rid of the 250 unwanted layers and objects.
