Import from > Malz++Kassner CAD6 (*.MKD) (File Menu)

Using this command, objects, blocks, instances and elements can be merged into the current drawing from another file. The other file is chosen from the "File Selection" dialog. To choose which other elements to load, apply the "Options" button then the "Choose MKD Elements" dialog appears, where the other elements to be loaded can be chosen.

Malz++Kassner CAD6 drawings usually have the extension .MKD. Further file formats can be handled by means of Import and Export Filters.

When merging blocks, conflicts can arise. Because blocks are identified by their names, the name must only be used once within a drawing. If the drawing to be merged contains blocks with names which are already in use, they cannot be loaded.

Because the appearance of an object depends on the pen settings, line type and layer, merged objects can look very different from their original appearance. The current pen, line type and layer settings may be quite different from those used in the original drawing,
