Refedit

[mskin]

I use Refedit to edit blocks in autocad. its nice, because the blocks are over an xreference of the floor plan - and i can relate the details to the actual plan. anyway, after i save changes to the refedit, the modifications don't initially appear in other references of the block in the same drawing and i need to close and reopen the drawing for them to show up.... has anyone experienced this and how do you fix it.

that shouldn't happen, but the workaround might be to manually reload the xref in the xref manager.

 

if that doesn't work, then get an expensive and unnecessary upgrade to 2009 or something....???

.....or check the system variable XREFNOTIFY

 

Controls the notification for updated or missing xrefs.

 

0 Disables xref notification

 

1 Enables xref notification. Notifies you that xrefs are attached to the current drawing by displaying the xref icon in the lower-right corner of the application window (the notification area of the status bar tray). When you open a drawing, alerts you to missing xrefs by displaying the xref icon with a yellow alert symbol (!).

 

2 Enables xref notification and balloon messages. Displays the xref icon as in 1 above. Also displays balloon messages in the same area when xrefs are modified. The number of minutes between checking for modified xrefs is controlled by the system registry variable XNOTIFYTIME.
