How to xref Layouts only
How to xref Layouts only
(OP)
I am trying to figure how to xref in Layouts that show the intended geometry/dimensions, etc. I want to make a drawing that only xrefs in certain layouts. Is this possible?
Thanks

RE: How to xref Layouts only
Place your x-ref on a specific layer.
In a viewport where you want to see this x-ref, make sure the layer is thawed, on, and not frozen in viewport.
In viewports where you do not want to see it, freeze in current viewport. You must be in the active viewport to reach this setting.

The "Base" drawings are all done in Model Space at full scale, dimensioned and annotated as needed. I use viewports within layouts to use the same geometry but have various layers turned off as needed in each viewport. When I xref the wanted file it brings in everything from the xref model space but none of the layouts. If I xref the base file in a layout viewport it only brings in the model space contents.
If I use Design Center to add the layout, it does so but nothing in the model space I want to show in the layout comes in.
Frustrating!!!
