The XRef Scenes dialog lets you add and remove XRef scenes. It also gives you
tools to control the display of the XRef scene, options to ignore various
components of the scene, and the ability to bind to a parent object so you
can scale, rotate, or move the XRef scene.
Accessing XRef Scenes
Although XRefs are inaccessible “boxes” in the scene, they can be accessed in
various ways.
■ Cameras and lights in the XRef scenes can be accessed in the Viewports
list and assigned to viewports in the current scene.
■ Objects from the XRef scenes are included in the Summary Info dialog.
■
Objects can be snapped to or used for alignment purposes with
AutoGrid and Align.
■ AutoGrid works on XRef scene objects.
■
You can use objects from XRef scenes as target for cloning or reference
systems.
Nesting XRef Scenes
XRef scenes can be nested. That is, an XRef scene can contain other XRef
scenes, which can in turn contain other XRef scenes.
NOTE For a nested XRef scene to update automatically, all of its parent scene files
(files that include it as an XRef) must have Auto Update turned on .
