External Reference Tips

Submitted by rkmcswain on Mon, 11/16/2009 - 21:13

Here are a couple of quick tips on External References.

  • Rather than opening the External References palette, then right clicking to attach a reference, you can go use the ._XATTACH command to go directly to the "Select File" dialog.
  • You can still access the old "Xref Manager" and "Image Manager" dialogs by running the ._CLASSICXREF and ._CLASSICIMAGE commands, respectfully.
  • If you want to attach multiple DWG references at one time, you will have to use the older ._CLASSICXREF command mentioned above.
  • Starting in AutoCAD 2010, the XDWGFADECTL system variable controls the dimming of referenced DWG files.
