bar character ( | ) from each xref-dependent named object is replaced with a
number (usually 0) between two dollar signs ($).
If you specify a layer whose associated linetype is not CONTINUOUS, XBIND
also binds the referenced linetype. If you apply XBIND to a block, any block,
dimension style, layer, linetype, or text style that's referenced by objects in
the block is also bound. If the block contains an xref, XBIND binds that xref
and all its dependent named objects.
