How to permanently embed an XREF

How to permanently embed an XREF

How to permanently embed an XREF

(OP)
After I've added my title block, I want to send the competed file to a customer - but I want the block to go with it? How do you make the block part of the file and not an external ref?

Thanks,
Walt

RE: How to permanently embed an XREF

I usually insert the format sheet/title block at the inverse of the plotscale--in model space.  It then is part of the drawing.  This is how we had to do it in the computervision cadds 3 days. (late 70's)  When paper space became popular, I tried it but always reverted back to the old ways.

RE: How to permanently embed an XREF

Can you not send the block with the drawing?

Or how about exploding the block after inserting it?
