The 13C-SPLAY2 drawing with the revised xref of the site plan
In this exercise, you saw how a host drawing is updated when its external ref-
erence is changed and how you can control the appearance of objects in the xref
drawing from the host drawing by working with the xref-dependent layers. You
also saw how you can modify objects in the xref from the host drawing by using
the in-place xref editing tool. A drawing can serve as an external reference in
several host drawings at the same time and have a different appearance in each
one, including location, rotation, and scale. The results of in-place xref editing,
however, must be saved back to the original drawing in order to be viewed in the
xref. In-place xref editing is usually done only when the results are meant to be
permanent changes in the original source drawing.
Adding an image to a Drawing
Not only can you externally reference other drawing files into the current draw-
ing, but you can also reference image files. Using this feature, you can add digi-
tal photographs or scanned images, such as artist renderings and construction
