Which external reference attachment type prevents a referenced drawing from appearing when the host drawing is itself referenced into another drawing?
Answer: Overlay
Overlay references are not carried into nested references, so they do not display when the host is xref'd elsewhere.
A drafter moves a project folder to a new server, and the xrefs still load. Which path type was most likely used?
Answer: Relative path
Relative paths are stored relative to the host drawing's location, so they survive moving the whole folder structure.
Which command packages a drawing together with its xrefs, fonts, and plot style files for sending to a client?
Answer: ETRANSMIT
ETRANSMIT creates a transmittal package (folder or ZIP) that includes all dependent files.
In the External References palette, what does a status of 'Not Found' indicate?
Answer: The saved path no longer points to a valid file
'Not Found' means AutoCAD cannot locate the file using the saved path or the project and support search paths.
When binding an xref with the Bind option (not Insert), how is a layer named WALL in xref PLAN renamed?
Answer: PLAN$0$WALL
The Bind option converts the vertical bar to $n$, so PLAN|WALL becomes PLAN$0$WALL.
Which command lets you display only part of an attached xref by defining a boundary?
Answer: XCLIP
XCLIP creates a clipping boundary that hides the portion of the xref outside it.
Which command opens a selected xref in its own window for editing?
Answer: XOPEN
XOPEN opens the selected referenced drawing as a separate document.
