FiGuRE 13.25 The Reference Edit dialog box
WARNING If you have the autoSave tool set to periodically save
your drawing automatically (application menu ➢ Options ➢ Open and Save ➢
File Safety precautions ➢ automatic Save or SAVETIME ), this feature is dis-
abled during reference editing.
You're now free to use many of the drawing and modifying commands
on the site plan drawing that you just selected.
6. Open the Layer Properties Manager, and notice that several new lay-
ers now appear.
At the top are $0$ C-PROP-LINE and $0$ C-ROAD, and lower in the
list are 0-REfEdit0, 13C-SPLAY1|C-PROP-LINE, and 13C-SPLAY1|C-
ROAD. The layer names separated by the pipe (|) symbol indicate that
these are layers from the externally referenced C-SPLAY1 drawing
and are referred to as xref-dependent . C-SPLAY1|C-PROP-LINE and
C-SPLAY1|C-ROAD appear in the Layer Properties Manager even
when you are not editing an xref in-place.
One restriction in the layer tools is that you can't make an xref-
dependent layer current in the host drawing. The layers at the top of
dialog box, the ones with the dollar sign ($) symbols, are temporary
and will hold any objects created on them in the editing session and
then shift those objects to the proper xref layer at the conclusion of
the editing session.
7. Make the $0$C-PROP-LINE layer current, and then offset the lower-right
diagonal property line 10 -0 ( 3048 ) to the right (see Figure 13.26).
