Existing Drawing

This command allows you to display all the entities on the layers that are grouped as part of the Existing Drawing.
  Carlson TakeOff allows you to assign layers into three different "Target" surface groups: Existing, Design, and Other. For more about assigning layers to different "Target" surface groups see Define Layer Target/Material/Subgrade under the tools menu. Once layers have been assigned, the display menu allows for easy viewing of each "Target" surface. When Existing Drawing is checked than the existing drawing will be displayed. If it is not checked it will not be displayed. You can check on and off the other "Target" surfaces to view the existing drawing in isolation or in accordance to the other drawings.
