It can't be done. It could be programmed to open it without the UI, but the drawing would still need to be opened. You could move the XRef so that doesn't resolve, but to remove the reference you need to open the drawing.

Thanks for the reply Peter.
I think what I'll try is to create copies of the drawings in another path then repath to those with Xref Manger. If the drawing still doesn't open I can delete those drawings.

That's pretty much what I thought Joe. Now if I can just get my computer to stop throwing Blue Screens I might try that! Four of them this morning. All while trying to browse for files in LDTC2009.
Most of the files that are Xrefed are old files from LDT. So I'm trying to recover them in LDT.

Hi Allen
Blue screen... Hmm. I had some recent file troubles and was recovering shadow copies, bak and the like; purging auditing yada yada and coming up clean.
As a final attemp I suspected my DS files. I used the DS manager and change the source files to a dummy file and it worked. Once I narrowed down to the rogue file I replaced it with new work - thankfully, dividing the dewsign model into smaller components made the redo relativly painless.
Perhaps this may be whats ailing your files?

Hey Joe,
I remember your trouble. But no DS in this drawing. It's an old LDT project I brought up to lay some easements and acquisitions on, create some parcels and output a report to prepare legal descriptions.
It looks like I may have been barking up the wrong tree with the Xrefs. I used Civil 3d to recover all the old LDT files and saved current copies to the same folder as the base drawing then repathed them with Reference manager. It still wouldn't open. So I moved the files out of that folder so they wouldn't be found. Now it still doesn't open. I tried recover on the base drawing. After fixing 79 errors it stops at Upgrading Cogo points.
Tomorrow I'll start going through backups until I find one hat works. Hopefully!

Have you tried this on a different PC to rule out hardware or mem issues?

Thanks John. This was 15 months ago. I was being polite to the recent poster. I had to revert to a backup of the drawing and recover all the Xrefs.
