List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Enter an Option
?—List Xrefs Lists the DWG reference name, path, and type and the number
of DWG references currently attached to your drawing.
Bind Converts a specified DWG reference into a block, making it a permanent
part of the drawing.
The xref-dependent named objects, such as layer names, of the former xref
are added to your drawing. In each xref-dependent named object, the vertical
bar (|) is replaced with three new characters: a number (usually 0) between
two dollar signs ($). The number is increased if the same name already exists
in the current drawing.
Detach Detaches one or more DWG references from your drawing, erasing
all instances of a specified xref and marking the xref definition for deletion
from the definition table. Only the xrefs attached or overlaid directly to the
current drawing can be detached; nested xrefs cannot be detached.
