svorgodne Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I have the next problem. Two computers. Autocad 2006 installed in both. When xrefing in one, I can only edit the entities within the xref or block in the working set. In the other, I can edit all entities in the drawing although they "are not" part of the working set since they appear in shaded colors. I have not found any system variable that can help and all information I have found is related to add/remove entities from working set, but not about how to lock/unlock the rest of the drawing which is not part of the working set Thanks for ur help which by the way, as usual it's extremly urgent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Cullen Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 You have to set (or move) the xrefs into the same folder that they can be found in for each drawing. On both computers. That is as far as my knowledge goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svorgodne Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 That is not the problem, the point is in one computer something is configured in a way that I cannot edit other entities than the ones involved in the working set and in the other I can. It doesn't have anything to do with the profile since I have set the same profile in both computers. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is as far as my knowledge goes. look who is answering the x-ref related question. SVORGODNE, There is something wrong. I have never come across (using x-ref for along) where we can edit the objects which are not in working set without adding them to working set.

Cad64 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 In the "Reference Edit" dialog, go to the "Settings" tab and uncheck the "Lock objects not in working set" box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipali Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 In the "Reference Edit" dialog, go to the "Settings" tab and uncheck the "Lock objects not in working set" box. I didn't knew about that one. I guess one can never know enough. thanks for the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbinnc Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 A really late reply, but: check to see if any layers were frozen, I had the same error. I had freezed a "noplot" layer before editing the xref and couldn't save the changes. I thawed all the layers and then edited the xref and it'd save my changes then.
