The cabin drawing with the updated site plan xref
Modifying an Xref from within the Host Drawing
Sometimes all you need to do is make a minor edit to a referenced drawing. The
Edit Reference in Place (
REFEDIT
) command provides an excellent way of doing
this without leaving the drawing you're in. You can't do things like creating a
new layer with this tool, but many of the regular editing commands are available
when you use it. You'll make a few modifications to the site plan xref to demon-
strate this feature.
the
REFEDIT
com-
mand edits both
blocks and xrefs. So,
in autoCaD's techni-
cal vocabulary for
this command and
its prompts, both
blocks and xrefs
are referred to as
references
.
