Scan AutoCAD Drawings for External References
The Scan AutoCAD Drawings for External References dialog box is displayed
when attempting to download Xrefs, but a list of external references cannot
be found. Click Yes to include the Xrefs. The drawing and its Xrefs and nested
Xrefs are downloaded and scanned. Any information about the Xrefs are
displayed in the Download file dialog box.
NOTE Scanning can be time-consuming if the drawings are large.
You can set the preferences to determine if your drawings are always scanned,
never scanned, or asks you first before a drawing is scanned for Xrefs. See
Setting Preferences (page 19) for details.

External References not Found
When downloading an AutoCAD drawing and its Xrefs, your site is first
scanned for Xrefs. If they can not be found, you have the option of using a
copy of the Xref from your local machine if one is available.
To use a local copy if available, ensure that the check box next to the file name
is checked. By default it should be checked. If you do not want to use a local
copy, de-select the box. If no local copy was found, a red X displays next to
the file name.
You can choose whether this same search is performed in future downloads.
If you always want a local copy to be used, select the Do not show this dialog
option, and then click the Always use local copies of missing external
references.
If you always want to be able to choose whether a local copy is used, then do
not select the Do not show this dialog option.
