View Full Version : Working out which drawings xrefed where

Our office draws all 'drawing information' on a model space, then creates a new DWG for each sheet, and xref in the original with nothing on the model space. So one 'model' can go to many 'sheets'.

Is there a way - like the opposite of the xref manager - to go into a dwg and see where it is xrefed TO as opposed to FROM.

Obviously you change a model, go to the relevant sheet that you are needing, reload and add a revision number, but the same revised model could be in a dozen other sheets that I don't know about, I need to find them and add revision notes!

Design Center > Search tab > Look for > Xrefs looks like the exact tool I need.... but LT doesn't have a search like this! Oh woe, so close yet so far.

Thanks though, I did look back a few pages of threads honestly but couldn't find anything that looked like my query.
