File open in Xref Dialog

[papaf1]

Make a right click file open option when selecting a file in the Xref dialog box.

Another thought for this subject would be to have an edit an Xref in the scene. It would be nice to have the ability to double click a file in the Xref Dialog or right click and select Edit in a drop down menu. Then have that file become live as if you had opened the file, to give you the ability to change or refine the file while you are in the master scene. After the edit is complete you can exit out of the edit mode or right click the file in the Xref dialog to close the file and then that .max file would be saved and the master scene would be updated.

In addition to this it would ne great to have an edit option from a right click on a file in the xref scene dialog. If you have an issue or a need to tweek an xref scene file to better match your needs in the master scene, this would give you the ability to do this without leaving the master scene. This would effect the xref item in that file. It could be like an edit in place option. You could adjust animation keys, materials, or just tweek the geometry to accomidate the master scene it is being use for.
