Profiles in X-Ref

[Anonymous]

I have some 20 profiles of storm & sanitary pipes in one rather large
drawing. In trying to use a secondary dwg file to handle profiles with an
xref I am not getting the existing ground profile to show in my xref. The
Final grade profile shows in areas where it is supposed to.

I seem to remember some problems with xref's in the past. I cannot find
anything of this nature, however. Does anyone have an answer?

Thanks,

After further review and calling on all my declining brain power, it appears
that for the surface to appear in an xref, I had to attach the parent (or
blank drawing) file to a project. This doesn't make sense (to me), since
all I wanted was a "picture" of the base drawing. One of the surfaces was
OK before the attaching of a project.
