Save Saves back to the xref source drawing or to the block definition
in the current drawing all changes made to objects in the working set. If you
remove an object from the working set and save changes, the object is deleted
from the reference and added to the current drawing. The Save Back Changes
to Reference button on the Refedit toolbar automatically saves reference editing
changes.
NOTE If the file format of the xref source drawing is AutoCAD Release 14 or earlier,
the file is saved in AutoCAD 2010 file format. The file format is not changed for
xref source drawings in AutoCAD 2000 and 2004 format.
Discard Reference Changes
Discards the working set; the source
drawing or block definition is returned to its original state. Any changes you
make to objects in the current drawing (not in the xref or block) are not
discarded. If you delete any object that is not in the working set, the object
is not restored even if you choose to discard changes. The Discard Changes
to Reference button on the Refedit toolbar automatically discards reference
editing changes without using REFCLOSE.
