Table Of Contents
When a reference object is part of the working set, you can select the object
for editing even if it is drawn on a locked layer in the reference file. You can
unlock the object's layer and make changes to the object. Changes made to
the object can be saved, but the layer state remains the same in the reference
file, whether it is locked or unlocked.
An object that is removed from the working set is added to the host drawing
and removed from the reference when changes are saved back. An object that
is added to the working set is removed from the host drawing, and is restored
to the reference when the changes are saved back.
Use the External Reference Tab on the Ribbon
If you select a reference to edit in-place when the ribbon is active, the Edit
Reference ribbon contextual tab is displayed. The editing buttons on the
contextual tab (Add to Working Set, Remove from Working Set, Discard
Changes, and Save Changes) are active only during in-place reference editing.
The contextual tab is dismissed automatically after changes made to the
reference are saved back or discarded.
When the ribbon is not active, 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 to Working Set, Remove
from Working Set, Close Reference, and Save Reference Edits) 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.
