Partially Bind or Promote XREF Data

[petestrycharske]

All,

Good afternoon!  I'm working on a few conceptual layouts for a factory layout and I'm not sure which one I will be utilizing, or I may utilizing different aspects from each layout concept.  Instead of copying and pasting a bunch of stuff between layouts, I was wondering if there is a way that I could overlay an XREF and simply BIND or INSERT just a portion of the XREF?  I'm curious what my options are for such an operation.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Thanks in advance for any assistance and have a most blessed day!  Hope all is well and have a most blessed day!

Peace,
Pete

Two functions that might be of interest:

Xrefs can be clipped (XClip), if you want to show only a portion.

Layers in the XRef can be selectively frozen in different viewports.

You can try the NCOPY command. There settings and you can choose bind or insert. You need to select all the objects to bind or insert one at a time though, you can't window to select.
