(OP)
I need to use the inventor equivalent of XREFs. Do they exist?

RE: Xref equivalent
or did you unintentionally misspell "accuracy"?
RE: Xref equivalent
Most people ask me if Socrates really said that...of course, I've never checked, as the quote implies.
It's funny on so many levels.
Anyway, is there a way of using something like xrefs in Inventor? Anyone know?

RE: Xref equivalent
So if I've got some "boilerplate" text, with a few drawings common to every 2D layout, I can't reference it from a common file?
i.e., if I have to make a change to my common drawing, I'm gonna have to open EVERY instance, (thats a couple of thousand 2d drawings) and edit it, rather than just a single file that will make the change across the board?
I think Autodesk made a bit of an oversight there...

I just had a thought, that you could put the boiler plate text in an excel spreadsheet and link to it, not sure about doing that from and IDW though.
