Figure 18-8: Using the External References palette to attach an xref.
The Path Type drop-down list provides more flexibility in how the xref path gets
stored. See the “Forging an xref path” section, later in this chapter, for more inform-
ation. For now, I recommend that you choose Relative Path instead of the default
Full Path.

The externally referenced file appears in your drawing.
In drawings that contain a lot of xrefs, it can be difficult to locate the one you want.
AutoCAD 2011 added an enhancement to the External References palette: When you se-
lect an object that's part of an xref in the drawing area, the xref's name highlights in the
External References palette. Likewise, selecting an xref in the External References
palette highlights the attached file geometry in the drawing editor.
