-XBIND

Binds one or more definitions of named objects in an xref to the current

drawing.

List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Enter symbol type to bind [Block/Dimstyle/LAyer/LType/Style]:

Enter an option

Depending on the option, you are prompted for a xref-dependent named

object (symbol) such as a block, dimension style, layer, linetype, or text style.

Enter dependent Symbol name(s): Enter a name list or * to bind all

xref-dependent named objects (symbols) from that definition table

The name you specify must be the full name, including the vertical bar

character ( | ).

The xref-dependent named objects you specify are added to your drawing.

You can manipulate them as you would any other named object. The vertical

bar character ( | ) from each xref-dependent named object is replaced with a

number (usually 0) between two dollar signs ($).

If you specify a layer whose associated linetype is not CONTINUOUS, XBIND

also binds the referenced linetype. If you apply XBIND to a block, any block,

dimension style, layer, linetype, or text style that's referenced by objects in

the block is also bound. If the block contains an xref, XBIND binds that xref

and all its dependent named objects.
