682 | Chapter 23 Reference Other Drawing Files (Xrefs)
The Refedit toolbar is displayed when a reference is being edited in place. The
name of the selected reference is displayed in the toolbar. The editing buttons
on the toolbar (Add Objects to the Working Set, Remove Objects from the
Working Set, Discard Changes to Reference, and Save Back Changes to Refer-
ence) are active only during in-place reference editing. The Edit Block or Xref
button is active whenever the toolbar is initiated and a reference editing
session is not already in progress within the current drawing. The Refedit
toolbar is dismissed automatically after changes made to the reference are
saved back or discarded.

Set, or at the Command prompt, enter refset.

the Working Set button on the Refedit toolbar.
