Name
Displays the xref name in the list after an xref is attached. When an attached
xref is selected in the list, its path is displayed in Path.
Browse
Choose Browse to display the Select a Reference dialog box (a Standard File
Selection Dialog Boxes), in which you can select new xrefs for the current
drawing.
Found In
Displays the path where the xref was found.
If no path was saved for the xref or if the xref is no longer located at the
specified path, the program searches for the xref in the following order:
Current folder of the host drawing
Project search paths defined on the Files tab in the Options dialog box and
in the PROJECTNAME system variable
Support search paths defined on the Files tab in the Options dialog box
Start-in folder specified in the Microsoft Windows application shortcut
Saved Path
Displays the saved path, if any, that is used to locate the xref. This path can
be an absolute (fully specified) path, a relative (partially specified) path, or no
path.
Reference Type
Specifies whether the xref is an attachment or an overlay.
See "Attach External References" and "Nest and Overlay External References"
in the User's Guide.
Path Type
Specifies whether the saved path to the xref is the full path, a relative path,
or no path. You must save the current drawing before you can set the path
type to Relative Path. For a nested xref, a relative path always references the
location of its immediate host and not necessarily the currently open drawing.
The Relative Path option is not available if the referenced drawing is located
on a different local disk drive or on a network server.
