■ Attach and Detach Referenced Drawings
Converts DWG references (xrefs) and DGN Underlays to standard local block
definitions.
Summary
If you bind an xref into the current drawing, the xref and all its dependent
named objects become a part of the current drawing. Use XBIND to add
individual xref-dependent named objects, such as blocks, text styles, dimension
styles, layers, and linetypes, to the local definition table. The two methods of
binding xrefs to the current drawing are Bind and Insert. Bind alters the
definition table names of an xref when it is inserted. Insert does not alter the
definition table names of an xref when it is inserted. To bind a nested xref,
you must also select the parent xref.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Bind
Binds the selected DWG reference to the current drawing. Xref-dependent
named objects are changed from blockname|definitionname to
blockname$n$definitionname syntax. In this manner, unique named objects are
created for all xref-dependent definition tables bound to the current drawing.
