attaching a drawing witout its xrefs

[Anonymous]

hello! 

is there a way to load a drawing as an xref witout additional xrefs that inside this drawing?

[RobDraw · Accepted solution]

If the nested XREFs are set to overlay instead of attached, they will not be referenced with parent XREF.

It's also possible with the reference manager. There's a recent post that describes how to do it.

Get in the habit of attaching XREFs using the OVERLAY option so that in the future you get what you want 100% of the time without extra effort https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2021/ENU/AutoC...
