Although I will point out that if the xref'd drawing has multiple layers, I needed to use the freeze layer option to turn off the entire xref'd drawing.
It just depends on your use. The benefit in doing an XREF is when you change the original drawing, the XREF will automatically update in the drawing it is linked to.
The problem I have is XREF'ing a site plan into another drawing, I am trying to use elements such as stairways or shafts to align the two different drawings. Is there a simpler way to do this in the import stage... any tips?
Michael, when doing an XREF, there is an option that should appear to attach the XREF from a specific point. If not I would recommend XREFing to the side, then grabbing the whole thing and using the move command from that specific point. Hope this helps!

I searched "xref in acad" and your video was 3rd on list and watched it coz it was short and to the point. The others were 15+ minutes. Thanks
Thank you Sameer, glad I could help!
Same. Short and sweet as they say. I wish all tutorials vids were like this. Thanks.
Fantastic, two minutes, strraight forward, worked like a charm, thank you!
I've got a CAD assessment coming up for a job interview and had never heard of XREF before. This helped tremendously, thank you.
Thank you for your simple video in American English, instead of a confusing long one
This video was so helpful! Thanks Cad with an Engineer!
straight to the point, I like it
Thank you Samer, that is what I was going for!
Perfectly explained. Thank you
Great video! I didn't know about creating a layer for the xref, that is a game changer.

It really is a game changer! It can be very helpful for certain applications. It also cleans up the layers a bit.
Wow dude, you kick ass Love it you explained this so well in such a short time, mad respekt
Thanks for highlighting the need for layer.
Nice n Simple...
Thnkz a lot for this video ✨
No problem!
Thanks
Thanks bro
typically I just copy and paste from one plan to another… is this bad? should I be doing an xref?

@@cadwithanengineer5965 the problem with XREF is the file location, when you edit with other computer the xref is gone
what is circular reference how to do xbind ?
Useful

@@cadwithanengineer5965 the problem I have I guess is in scaling when it might have been done afterwards.
the hidden line is showing in continues in Xref file why ??
May have to do with the layer that you have the hidden line on. Check the layer properties manager
Mate why have you stopped, more content needed , this is too good not to carry on
I appreciate the comment! Is there anything in particular that you’d like to see?
Why use an xref instead of a block?
You can use a block. Just depends on your specific application
