Uploading External References
You can upload externally referenced files (Xrefs) and view each Xref as needed.
As long as a DWG file is selected, you can scan the AutoCAD drawing for
referenced file(s). You can also upload non standard fonts (such as SHX and
TTF) and choose how the referenced files are displayed (nested, flat, or list
style). To save time, create a target folder in your site for your master file before
you upload Xrefs.
To upload external references:
1 In the tree view select a target folder for your master file.
2 Click the Add toolbar button and choose Drawing (only DWG files are
available to upload) or Document (all file types are available) from the
list.
The Add to Project wizard is displayed.
3 Click Browse to locate and select the desired file.
4 Click Open.
Notice that the Include AutoCAD external references option is selected.
5 Click Next. The master file and a list of all associated referenced files is
displayed.
