SJC2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hello, I'm a fairly new AutoCAD user (AutoCAD 2012 version) so there's probably a very simple answer to this. I have a "Master" drawing with one xref inside. Im producing drawings (layouts) from this master dwg file. Im trying to freeze individual layers within the xref, I can do this by using the Layer properties manager "VP freeze" column, this is very slow. What I would like to do is select an individual layer of the xref within the viewport and freeze it using the layer dropdown list at the top, however when I click one of the layers within the xref all the layers within the xref become selected. How can I select individual layers within the xref????? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Use the Freeze Layer button and select an object in the XREF on the layer that you want frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
