Topic: to nest or not to nest

I just got this file today and the xref nesting is quite impressive

I think that answers that question. 

You should definitely nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest..and nest...

  Yowser...

that is truly amazing... The one thing with nesting is that it is important for the people working on a drawing like that to understand how the nesting is working and where everything is coming from. If you have many people in a design team, that could turn into a disaster in a heartbeat. All it takes is for someone to change from attach to overlay in one key file and all the drawings will be FUBAR....

Impressive, but boy that can turn into a real big mess...

While I've never had any trouble nesting XREFs (since R14 anyway), that seems trully excessive.

[Sdoman]

Wow, what a wicked web they weaved!  There's noting wrong with nesting Xref's so long as there is a method to the madness.   

[t-bear]

....or in this case, a madness to their method.   We nest xrefs too, but around 4-5 deep at the most.  All of this is in-house and we don't send the 3D model to the customer unless absolutely necessary.  Gotta admit though, that's impressive.........
