I'm unable to bring the content of an Xref CAD drawing into another drawing? How can I move the content of the Xref CAD file into a new drawing?  


I'm beginning to wonder something else.  There is no such thing as "an Xref CAD drawing."  There are only drawings, and while one can be Xref'd into another one, so that it's an external reference in the other one, in itself it's still just a drawing.  It may have been drawn with the purpose of its being Xref'd into other drawings, but that's a distinction in usage, not in the nature of the drawing itself.

 

So I'm wondering whether what you really want is to simply INSERT the drawing that you're referring to as an "Xref drawing" into the new one.  If Xref-ing and then Binding does what you want, you don't need the "middle-man" of Xref-ing -- just INSERT it.  You can then EXPLODE it if you want the pieces independent, or you can leave it as what will be a Block in the new drawing.  [Or you can INSERT it pre-exploded, rather than INSERT and then EXPLODE.]  The Layer names will be "plain" as they are in the source drawing, without the compound Drawing-name|Layer-name format.
