AUTOCAD 2000 PROBLEM

AUTOCAD 2000 PROBLEM

AUTOCAD 2000 PROBLEM

(OP)
I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION I AM A CADD TECH FOR TYCO FIRE AND SECURITY. I HAVE A PROBLEM OUR SECURITY SIDE USED A PROGRAM CALLED MICRO GDS AND WE USE AUTOCAD 2000. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR TRANSLATING THE DRAWINGS TO MICRO GDS. HERE IS THE PROBLEM I HAVE A DRAWING WITH MULTIPLE XREFS AND WHEN I TRY TO BIND THEM IT SAYS INVALID I HAVE TRIED TO EXPLODE THE XREFS AND EVERTHING ELSE I CAN THINK OF. HELP ME PLEASE

RE: AUTOCAD 2000 PROBLEM

     Insert the drawings into the main drawing instead of using Xreferances. An Xref is a referanced drawing made in AutoCAD format that is externally referanced by another file. Some file formats don't handle referances, others require the referances to be in the same format as the exported files, and some will not accept links to other then the root directory of the drawings.
