AutoCAD Electrical 2018 – Surfing Faster

By Miles Nicholson

When surfing from one reference on a drawing to another on a different drawing using AutoCAD Electrical's Surfer, AutoCAD Electrical will prompt you to save the current drawing (if required), open up the required drawing and then close the original drawing.

You can surf faster by holding the Shift key down as you pick a new reference to Surf to. This will still prompt you to save the current drawing (if required), open up the required drawing but it will not close the original drawing therefore speeding up the process of navigation from one drawing to another.
