Lining up xrefs
Lining up xrefs
(OP)
Hope you can help me, I have a floor plan onto which I have drawn a ceiling grid. After isolating the ceiling grid layer I wblock it to a file called ceilgrid so that it is available to other drawings I am producing on the floor plan. When I xref the ceiling grid into the floor plan it comes in but is not lined up correctly whith the floor plan drawing. How do I set up so that whenever I xref the ceiling grid in it is always lined up with the floor plan?

I do know why your xrefence is not lining up, if you use 0,0 when creating your xreference then your xrefence must be inserted into your floor plan at 0,0 or else they will not be aligned, also make sure that your ucs is set to world when you are inserting your xreference. For some cool tips on xrefenceing see my response to ME26. Good luck

P.S the idea of using a grid is spot on, its an excellent practice.

go into a the floor plan(or any drawing) and draw a line from 0,0 to a specific corner or something on the building.
Copy and paste this line into each drawing making sure the 0,0 point is always on 0,0. Now you can tell if they are lined up. It the other end is landing on the same point of the building, your ok. If not, move the building, leaving the reference line alone, to the end of the line like it is supposed to be.
Now all the drawings should have the same corner of the building in the same spot.
hope this helps
