Thanks for the video. I would like to know please that if the drawing file is XREF then how can I specify current layer that I want to, for example columns layer? I'm not able to to choose a current layer in this case, it's chosen as one layer for whole file as you see.
Hello! How can you edit an xref file without affecting the original one. Like you attached it on the new drawing and you want to change some areas but you dont want to affect the original one? Is there a command? Thanks
Hi +Peter Ngo. XREFs is basically a way of organizing drawings from different files, all in one file. You have to edit XREFs in the original files. By the way, maybe what you want is to use a drawing from a different file and then edit it. In this case, you can simply copy a drawing from another file with CTRL+C.
@@CADinblack oh i see, so there's no command like you can freeze the original XREF file while editing so you cant affect it. But I got what you mean. Thankss!
When you insert an XREF, you cannot just edit that file. It will look like the original file. You can just draaw a boundary to show a part of the XREF drawing.
Thanks for your time to share how to do this !

Thanks for the video. This still works for AutoCAD 2020.
I´ve tested and is ok for '20
Thanks for the video. This is simple but very useful.

Please increase the Volume. It seems to be a very helpful Video, but, I am having difficulty in hearing.
