Hello all!
I am totally stuck on a project. I need to do a simple electrical grounding drawing(2d) but i have plans that were given to me with tons of xrefs(3d) in the drawing and about a million layers. i can barely navigate through the drawing. Anyone have any suggestions of how i can explode these xref"d drawings and put condense them all into one layer?

do you have the xref files?

One quick way maybe to create a dwf from the drawing with all those xrefs which will combine everything into a single layer and then in a new drawing attach the dwf and then you can draw over it with your electrical grounding.
