    How can I see what drawings an xref is referenced into? I would like to find out how many drawings/which drawings are referencing a particular file. Does anyone know how to get this information?

    Thx in advance!

    Hi frank,

    The XReffed file has no information on any files to which it may be
    referenced.

    Thus you have to examine ALL the other files to see if they use it.

    Regards,

    Hi

    You can use the Design Centre Tool for this.

    In Design Centre, select the search tool.

    In the "look for" section, select Xrefs.

    In the "search for the name" section, enter name of your Xref (without the
    .dwg extension).

    Use the "Browse" button to select drives, directories.

    Use the "Search sub-folders" button as an option.

    Click "search now".

    A list of the drawings containing the named Xref dwg file will appear in the
    bottom pane.


    Cheers
    Mark
