Title: Locking Xrefs
Post by: One Shot on September 28, 2004, 01:00:12 PM

Is there lisp routine that will allow you to lock drawings in place in model space? This would be very useful when using Xrefs. I don’t know a way of doing that. You can lock the layers but it is only for the main drawing. There were times that I wish that I had the ability to lock the drawings in place. This would be very useful for background drawings for doing electrical, mechanical, roof and floor framing. Not to mention a lot of other situations. By locking the drawings in place. You can still modify the drawing and it would still update to other drawings.

 :?: So this would be different from locking layers.

How about locking the layer that the xref is on?

That would work.  But, we have many outside consultant working on our drawings.  I really don't want to rely on them to lock the correct layer.  With this routine, it will lock the dgw reguardless of what layer the Xref is on.
