Hello DataCAD Pros,

How do I Xref an object into a drawing and place it at (0,0)?

Thanks,

CADwk

From the top pull-down menus (or from the toolbar), select Insert/Xref, select the AEC file you want to xref in, then make sure that the Enlarge value is set to what you want (normally 1 if you're xref'g in, say, a floor plan) then pick Abs. Zero. Dcad will insert your xref at absolute 0,0 - with the xref being inserted based upon the xref's 0,0 (ie. if 0,0 is set off from the lower left of your bottom most lower left building corner by 48", then your xref will be 48" away from 0,0).

Hope this helps!
