Wow, your explanation was so excellent and easy to understand! I really appreciate the way you broke down complex concepts into simple steps, and your use of visuals was very helpful. I learned so much from watching this video, and I'm sure others will too. Thanks for making such great content!

I am working as an intern, Architect gave me the plan let's call it A1 to work on Now I have added a couple of xrefs and changed a few things. Later on, He made some changes to File A1 and sent it back to me with the updated name A2. Now, how can I have those updates on my A1 file without losing my works or restarting from the scratch on A2?

I understood almost everything about xref (thanks to you) but I am still stuck on basics. I drafted a floor plan on cad (with different layers for walls, windows, etc.) and I want to use xref for them correctly. can you please explain how do I save the drawings with different things (walls, windows, etc.) and then later use the xref? also, the "specify point" while using the xref. the elements never fit perfectly on each other.

WHich one should come first 1.Loading the drawing or the Xref file? How to include my main drawing within the CUI?

Thank you for the video! If I wanted to rotate the survey and Architectural Plan in a way that they are not set up to true north as that will fit the layout better do I do anything differently? Do I set them up to True North first (they are both x-refs) and rotate after that? But then if I get the updated Arch plan it will not upload in the right place..

[juliesmith]

How do you hide the frame around an x ref?
Thx
