I cant figure out why detach is not an option for an x-ref I have overlaid on my drg, there are other files attached to the x-ref in question, which I suspect is the issue.
View 2 RepliesI have a drawing that I cannot detach the Xref. It's not making sense.
When I try to detach the Xref I get a message saying
"Xref xxxxx.dwg has multiple references. Not detached"
I've attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing.
I receive this error when trying to detach this dwg.
"Xref X-H- MECHANICAL ESE1 has multiple references. Not detached."
How to detach this xref correctly?
I'm trying to detach an Xref from my drawing, and it says xref "has multiple references. Not detached."
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a setting that would cause a xref to detach itself when the drawing is closed? I have an existing model, went through the time to relocate all the attachments.
Once everything is attached I save my work close it out and move to another area, when I open up the model I was working on before with all the attachments that I had located, the xrefs are no longer attached and I must redo all the work that was done previously.
How to do this?

A part of an application I'm writing involves detaching a specific xref of known filename and path from an open drawing. I'm having a surprising amount of trouble figuring out how to do this or finding any examples "out there" (A'desk forum, the googles, A'desk developer's guide). I have the code for attaching an xref, but detaching is presenting unexpected problems.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI wanted to detach xrefs that having status File Not found from multiple drawings (fodlers and sub folders) without opening the drawing file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe prefer to detach all xrefs when exiting a base file instead of unloading them. Is there a way to have autocad remember which xrefs were used in the base file so that they can be reloaded all at once next time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know that in ACAD you can use the xref manager to see where the actual file for the xref resides on your computer/server/etc. What I'm curious about is whether or not the inverse action is possible. Can you somehow access the file (not the output sheet where it's being xref-ed) and see what other files are using it as an xref?
I've come in on a project that is nearing completion and have been assigned the task of "cleaning up the project folder." Unfortunately, there are a ton of files in the different folders that are no longer in use on the final output sheets and I need to keep the ones still in use and archive the ones that are no longer needed. What I've been doing is going through those sheets and reviewing the xref manager for each sheet to see which files are actually put onto those sheets and making a physical checklist from which to organize my findings. Once the checklist is made, I then archive all the files that are no longer being used.
Is it possible to run a lisp which can extract all the xref names, make a layer with that name and then change the xref on the layer? I have got a similar routine from earlier posts but it doesn't work if any xrefs inserted in paper space (works fine on model space). could change this routine allowing to change the layer of xref in paper space too.
(defun dxf (i a) (cdr (assoc i a)))
(defun c:lxr ( )
(setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT"))))

I am using (trying to anyway) a :VLR-xrefSubcommandReloadItem reactor. My only question is how to get the xref/block name from the 'reactor callback data' Object ID.
I am ultimately trying to pass it to (vla-get-xrefdatabase ....), but I cannot figure out how to turn the second parameter from the reactor callback data into something I can use - for example the second parameter returned may be "65" or some other number.

when you bind an xref the link disappears from the xref manager.
is it possible to bind an xref, but preserve that link in the xref manager? i realize that will lead to two copies of the same object in the drawing (one xref, plus the new block). everyone's okay with that happening.
How do I get the full Xref Path name instead of Xref.dwg? I'm scratching my head is this totally under my nose... cause I don't see where the property is stored. I'm getting EV_BDR.dwg instead of C:folderEV_BDR.dwg

Maybe i should have visibility turned and switch to a duplicate up to that point in the timeline, problem is i havent been able to move a duplicate either so far, back to hell.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a request from an Architect to detach, purge and remove links from my model every time before I upload. I used to clean up received models (MEP 2008-2010) thinking it would increase performance. It's been a years since I have done this and my model performance behaves no differently. Is there any validity to his claims that this is beneficial on the Architectural side?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI received some plans and in the main dwg there are 10 xrefs. Now in these xrefs there are others xrefs as well and some of them are linked together in a circular manner (it's a little hard to explain). How can I get rid of all the xrefs and collapse them in the same drawing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I've got these 11 design packs that I have been working on for months. Every time I need to make a major change I copy the entire folder and work on the copy so that I supposedly can get back to where I was if/when something goes awry. I am now working in my fourth version of the folder.
Most of the designs work just fine, but when I try to open one of them, it can't find the Xref. In the first place, when it tells me where it thinks the Xref should be, that's where it is - the path is correct - but AutoCAD can't find it. In the second place, when I go back into my supposedly safely saved earlier versions of the design, suddenly AutoCAD can't find the Xref in those versions either, even though I have not touched them since they last worked.
How I can correct it? I do NOT want to lose the scaling I have in the viewports, as I have gobs of labeling in paper space that points to features in the viewports.
I have a drawing with one viewport. In model space I have attached a jpg. If I draw a line over the xref in model space, it looks fine. When I switch to paper space, the line does not show, but if I plot to a pdf, it does. If I draw on paperspace, above the viewport, the line does not show.
The jpg is black lines on a white background. If I draw a line across it in model space, it shows up as the correct color (in this case it's red) but when I switch to paperspace it turns white and is invisible over the image.
I tried to change the display order, but no win. I checked the properties of the line and the xref itself and it all looks good. Everything is set "by layer".
