samifox Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I usually attach an xref to my drawing as a workflow, but I neverreally understand why its so difficult to locate it after importing. The xref almost always comes far away from theinsertion point. I tried to open thexref and set new ucs at the corner of the geometry but its all the same. How can I coordinate xref ucs to my host drawing ucs? Thanks Shay Quote
RobDraw Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Set UCS in both files to "World". Find a reference point, something that is at the same place in both files. Copy/Paste a marker of your preference from the base file to the XREF file then move the objects in the XREF so that they are coordinated with the marker. Insert XREF at (0,0). Quote
CyberAngel Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Also check the system variable INSBASE in the xrefed drawing. It should be (0,0,0). Quote
