XREF: Can I blow-up an XREF from someone else?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a rec'd a drawing from another individual where the building is an XREF in the drawing.

Anyway I can blow-up the XREF so I can freeze layers?

I've e-mailed requesting a different drawing but the architect is currently out of the office.

XREF layers can be frozen. That being said, you can bind the XREF (use the insert option) and then explode it, if you would like. Do this by typing "XR", select the XREF, then click on the "Bind" button, choose the insert option here. Hit Okay twice. Now you can explode the block.

as said by Rob above you can freeze xref layers without binding & exploding also. for some reason if the 'layfeze' tool does not work, use 'xlist' comand to identify the layer & than go to layer manager & freeze that layer.

the 'layfeze' tool

 

should be 'layfrz' - just to avoid the confusion :)

Just as the OP is in 2002, the LayFrz/LayOff commands are Express Tools.
