Cant see my xref

Hi all

I had a drawing I was working on which had an xref on it, I needed to save another copy of the drawing so that I could work on different parts of the drawing without compromising my original copy.

So all I did was SAVED AS a different name. But now my xref wont show on the new drawing.

I tried re inserting it but it says its already attached (which I can see in xref palette), yet I cant see it in model/paper space.

Any idea how to make it visible again?

Is the XRef's path saved as a relative path? If you open the Xref Manager, under Saved path is it a full path (C://my folder/myFile.dwg) or is it a relative path (..\..\my file.dwg) ?

If it is a relative path, change it to a full path by clicking the three dots next to the Saved Path line and browse to your file.

Hi Tiger

It was a full path.

I right clicked and RELOADed and its visible again. Im not sure why it did that.

Thanks for the reply

Xrefs are mysterious creatures, who knows why they do what they do, glad it's sorted

Indeed, and they dont like me.

Thanks
