Xclip

[Anonymous]

I am working in Windows 7 with a 64 bit processor and have had to drop back to AutoCad 2007 since 2008 would not load on the computer...will be updating soon, but for now, I need help.  I have an xref that has been xclip'd.  When I am selecting anything outside of the xclip, I am snapping to invisible lines or objects in the xref.  Is there a command that turns this function on or off?  Or is this just another problem with the 64 bit computer?

I am having a similar problem in 2012: I turned the xclip boundary off, but when I go to move or copy or whatever, and I happen to be where the boundary is (though I can't see it), I end up selecting the xref too.  Anybody? Help?

Place the XREF on it's own unique layer (call it XREF for example), then FREEZE it instead of doing whatever else you've tried, that should stop you from selecting it by mistake.

I noticed that it turns off the xref so that is not a solution because I need the xref there for a reference to place lines, objects, dimensions, etc.

LOCK the unique layer?

Duh!  I should have been able to figure that out.  Thanks!  Funny, never had this problem before upgrading to Windows 7...

Consider the problem SOLVED.
