Before we do so, just jump to the Layers panel in the Home tab and make sure you're on Layer zero. We'll just drop it in on layer zero for now. And then we're gonna go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, and we're going to go to the Reference Panel, and click on Attach. Now, this will take me to the folder where my drawings are stored. You may need to go and look for you 00_GND_GA drawing. So I'm gonna select it there, click on Open. That'll open up the Attach External Reference dialogue box, or "Ex-Ref" as they're known, and I'm gonna bring this in just as it is. It's gonna be a Reference-type attachment…
