AutoCAD - Overlapping xrefs

Expert: <font color=#6b238e>J. </font><font color=#ff7f00>B. </font><font color=#0000ff>Borge</font> - 11/8/2007

Question
I have two xrefs that overlap as they are plans and refer to the 0,0 in both drawings. However now in layout i wish to show each floor separately. Is there a way to turn off an xref in a viewport so i have one xref showing instead of the two overlapped. Thanks

Answer
Mishari,

You can associate each of xrefs on their own individual layers. 1st xref to layer called FLOOR1, then 2nd xref to FLOOR2. That way, you have the flexibility to freeze either xrefs on the viewport(s). Hope this helps, let me know!

Regards,
Jory Borge
