Missing Columns in XREF Manager

Hello everyone,

 

So, I'm having a problem with my XREF Manager, and I'm not exactly sure what I did that caused this issue, but in my XREF Manager, the only column I see is the Saved Paths of the reference, and nothing else. I've tried searching for a way to see if I could somehow bring back the reference names, the statuses, and etc columns but I haven't had any luck.

 

My main problem with is that if I select one of those paths, the line isn't highlighted, and I can only tell if the reference is actually selected by viewing the detail/ preview pane below it.

 

I could resort to using the Tree View or even the Classic XREF window, but I'd much prefer the default view that I'm more accustomed to. The images of the different XREF Manager windows are attached.

 

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to address my concerns, and I hope you all have a great day!

Click on this icon perhaps

Then right-click on the bar that says SAVED PATH and try other options.

Thanks for your suggestion, but that icon just switches it back to the list view, which is the view that's currently shown in the attached images.

 

And when I right click the Saved Paths header, the only options I can choose are either to toggle the detail/ preview pane below the window with all of the references, or to change the style of the tooltips. And there's also the option to close the XREF Manager via that approach.

 

But there isn't anything that maximizes the columns or anything like that which the Layer Manager has in the dropdown menu when I right click the headers over there. I also find it odd that there isn't even a slider below the window, so it's likely I somehow removed those columns somehow.

1. stretch the palette big as possible to left / right.

 

2. If you can not see other columns,

Search again for it by moving the cursor

in "saved path" bar, to the left or the right.

If the cursor changes the icon try to hold left mouse key and try to stretch the column to left/right.

Turns out your second suggestion was the answer.

 

Not sure how I winded up dragging the Saved Paths header through the entirety of the window, but I was able to essentially drag out those columns.

 

Thanks a bunch for your help!

Thanks. The second option worked for me.   All the headings were minimized to the left corner.20240429_091356.jpg
