tennis4you Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I have a new plan and an existing plan each in their respective files. I X-Ref them together to create the "Proposed Plan". On my A1-1 sheet I X-ref in the existing plan for the "Proposed Plan" but I also want my "Demolition Plan" on the A1-1 sheet. The Demolition plan is nothing but the Existing Plan with the demolition layer on. I cannot turn the demolition layer on or off without turning it on or off on both the proposed plan and the demolition plan. They need to be opposite of each other. Since AutoCAD doesn't let you X-ref the same file into a file more than once what are my options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Sounds like you should be in a layout creating viewports, then you can freeze/thaw layers per viewport. BTW: You can xref a file in more than once, do it once, use rename, xref it in again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 To expand on what rkent said; after having inserted the same XREF with different names you will have a distinct set of layers for each XREF. You will then be able to freeze the "DEMO" layer in one while leaving it on in the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
