How can I see what drawings an xref is referenced into?

[Guest Milhouse Van Houten]

AutoCAD 2008 question: How can I see what drawings an xref is referenced into? I would like to find out how many drawings/which drawings are referencing a particular file. Does anyone know how to get this information?

 

Thx in advance!

09 has the option in design center, but i can't remember if 08 does. anyway, you can specify xrefs in design center's search parameters. it will give you the results you need. i think lynn allen did a video tip on it.

( it works in 2008LT so it certainly should work in the full 2008 )
