I seen the problem more like the old Unix way of piping a program
into another.
There is a possibility/feasability to break a big drawing into
multiple ones. The big drawing can be seen like a data base.
I would assume that it is possible to update the big drawing
from the information of the modifications done on one of the
generated partial drawings. Or finding a mechanism that allow it.
This is an add on to the capacity of doing layering or sort of.
does this make any sense,
