Edit Referenced Drawings
Referenced drawings can be edited by opening them directly, or you can edit
the xref in place from within the current drawing. You can edit a block
definition directly from any selected block reference.
Edit a Referenced Drawing in a Separate Window
While the simplest and most direct method for editing xrefs is to open the
source file for the referenced drawing, there is an alternative that can be more
convenient.
If you need to edit the model space objects in an xref, you can access the xref
or a nested xref directly from the External References palette or with the
XOPEN command. Select the xref, and then using the shortcut menu in the
palette, open its source file in a separate window. After you save the edits,
close the source drawing,
save back the edited xrefs on page 1804 in your original
drawing, and resume working.
NOTE Make sure you know whether the referenced drawing is also referenced by
other drawings, and the the changes you make are appropriate in other instances.
