Posted Tips (English), Xref
inProblem description:
When attempting to detach an xref from a main drawing, AutoCAD displays the error “Xref NAME has multiple references. Not detached.” This is caused by referencing the given xref multiple times into the drawing. It may appear when attaching an xref in paperspace (in layouts), by inserting it into a nested block (or nested xref – A xrefs B and C but C xrefs B), or when you have a block definition with the same name. Check your layouts and deleted/detach xrefs from there, purge unused blocks in the main drawing and in the complaining xref. Let say that you have 2 xrefs attached to your model, Xref1 and Xref2 if Xref2 has Xref1 attached and you try to detach Xref1 you get the message. model |____Xref1 |____Xref2—Xref1 you have to detach Xref 1 from Xref2 and then detach Xref1 from model. Maybe the reference was also saved in the file as a block?? Problematic Xref can be inserted as a block somewhere in either Model Space or one of the Paper Space tabs.
My (Igal Averbuh) Solution:
1. Create empty drawing: For example blank.dwg (no layers.. no blocks… empty!)
2. Change path to blank.dwg for “problematic” xref’s
3. Bind an XREF which has multiple instances
And now you have dan allen lisp for it! Modified by me in order to do it fast
