XREFs won't display?!

[jackb602]

I've been using AutoCad for longer than I care to remember, and I've never seen this problem before. I'm trying to XREF a sheet border into a file in Layout space. I can XREF the file and attach it, but it's nowhere to be found in the drawing. I've been experimenting for a while and this problem is somewhat intermittent. Has anyone ever run in to this problem before? Any ideas? I'm running Autocad 2002 on Windows 2000.

 

Thanks,

Jack

Hi jack602

Just check that the title sheet is not in layout space on the xref file - only entities in model space are xrefed. Also check that the insertion layer of the xref is not frozen.

Not a problem.

D'oh!

 

Thanks Kerry, that was exactly the problem. I'm setting up my own title block for the first time, and I of course drew everything in Layout space. Pasting it into model space did the trick. Thanks for your help!
