xref reload not working

[edwin2011]

Can somebody help me with my xref reloading in acad v2011, it's not working-but the xref file is in the folder and in the right path as well.

 

I am getting nuts, please help!.

 

Thanks,

edwin

Has either the file been moved?

[edwin2011]

Neither of the working file or reference has not been moved, I was just editing the ref in place, saved. The next time I opened the working files-reference file isn't showing.

Try to reload the reference again.

I usually have to just reattach them. I have never had much luck with reload either.

[edwin2011]

Sad to say that I even tried detaching the reference then reinserted but no luck.

have you tried doing a recover on the file and the base file you edited?

I try to insert my XREFs on a layer called XREF. Once I dicovered that my xref was gone. Turns out I had inserted into the hatch layer and I had turned that layer off in the one viewport. It didn't show in model either because it was off there too. Is this a possibility for your XREF?

If that were the case, wouldn't it show up as loaded in the XREF Manager?

I suppose you are right. When it needs reloading it shows that it "needs reloading"

Guess I'll stick to viewing and posting questions.

still valuable information for someone else in the future. Don't hesitate to offer suggestions.

has the xref been CLIPed?

has the reference file objects moved on the drawing file?

something to do with VISRETAIN or layers in the original file?

Does the xref palette say "Not Found", "Needs Reloading"?....... what?

Keep on answering questions. I see no evidence I was right, we will not know that until the OP responds. I was merely pointing out an observation on your answer.
