My xrefs are not attahcing

[Anonymous]

Help.  my Xref's are not attaching...

[Anonymous]

Please explain in more detail. Is the command "Xref" not working? Were they already attached and now they are not?

[Anonymous]

when I try to xref a drawing file into the my working drawing, the xref completes the process but then does not attach the xref...

[Anonymous]

Is the current layer off?

[Anonymous]

I turned on all layers , but the xref's still do not appear.

[Anonymous]

Can you attach a copy of the drawing.

[Patchy]

Maybe it's incompatible version.

Try command INSERT, if it can be used it can be an xref.

[Patchy]

Zoom extent, then CTRL+A you should see it.

What error message(s) comes up?

[Anonymous]

zoomed extents... did control A... did not see an xref

[Anonymous]

no error message

[Patchy]

No problem here,

Insert it at 0,0,0 then EXPLODE it, Zoom Extent, CTRL+A  this is what I see.

This is a test to show nothing wrong with your drawing using when insert command.

Your drawing is way out there.

[skintsubby]

Can you be more specific?

The drawing you posted, you are trying to xref a drawing into that? Yet it won't attach? Is that correct? (are there circular xrefs involved?)

[Anonymous]

Ok.  I can insert the drawing, explode it and can see it out in space,  But that does not solve the xref proplem (actually i've been inserting the xref as a work around)

[Patchy]

Xref, detach all, re xref, see if that'll work.

[Anonymous]

I actually have a different name for the xref. so no circular referrences.  and yes. thats the drawing I am trying to attach the references... got the drawing from the architect.. the architects drawing is really  #%#%^ up

[Anonymous]

I'm afraid to detach the references that are aready attached.. just in case they will not re-attach...

[Patchy]

My suggestion was a test to see why it doesn't show up, if you don't save the drawing, no harms done.

The arch's drawing is as good as any drawings I have seen, why you say it messed up?

When I received the floor plan all the text was at an angle.  which is another problem that I have trouble fixing..
