I have a bunch opf xrefs loaded from the arch but they are overlayed...I need to switch them to being attached but I do not want to detatch and reattach...is there a way of doing this?

Thanks for the help!

Hey AV,

I am not sure you can switch between them but you could freeze or lock the xref'd drawings. Is that a possibility?

I also have a routine for locking or freezing xred'd layers in a drawing if you are interested?

24 is that too young???

IF so....oh well.  

If not...I still have no clue who those guys are!

Hi

At 24 you really should now all the guys I listed, you wouldn't have seen them play (just a little bit too young) but never the less all four are great names.

Bjorn Borg, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl surely you've heard these great tennis names -
