Overlays won't.&nbsp; Let's say I have a drawing with a few attached xrefs.&nbsp; If I xattach&nbsp;that drawing on a sheet, the attached xrefs will come along for the ride.&nbsp; Overlays are only applicable for the immediate target drawing and can be used to xref&nbsp;elevation drawings into plan drawings and vice versa without risking circular references.</P> Tue, 23 Jan 2018 15:16:41 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/difference-of-xref-attach-and-overlay/m-p/7713106#M194405 dbroad 2018-01-23T15:16:41Z
