Drawing Files (Xrefs)
You can attach an entire drawing to the current drawing
as an external reference (xref). With xrefs, changes in
the referenced drawing are reflected in the current
drawing. Attached xrefs are linked to, but not actually
inserted in, another drawing. Therefore, with xrefs you
can build drawings without significantly increasing the
drawing file size.
