Barry Clark Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I have an operator here who has an XREF that he brought in and it did not line up as it should with the remainder of the drawing. He then went in to the drawing being XREF'ed and reset the origin so that it would line up properly. When he did so, the XREF did move but no to where he set the origin. The XREF is still showing the insertion point some place other than where he has the origin set on his XREF'ed drawing. Any thoughts?

I would get this from time to time at my former job. Another CAD person would xref a building that was supposed to line up next to the building we were working on and he would do it wrong. Just move it and line it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just move it and line it up. Yes but we want to adjust the insertion point otherwise some of our prototypical drawings are not performing their function. None the less, it was only a matter of time before oxygen got to my brain. I was looking for INSBASE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I understand, you want it done the correct way and not just a quick fix. I completely agree. Hope you got it figured out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmarin Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 The Origin Point of both, the drawing containing the xref and the xref itself, should be set to 0,0,0 and then , when promted about the insertion point you just choose default 0,0,0 (x,y,z) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadguy09 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 You need to make sure your INSBASE is set to 0,0,0 on both drawings! I am pretty sure that is the problem! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
