Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2018 2:31 pmI knew at one time how to do this but have forgotten it and cannot find any info on it. How do you link an xref to a go to view?

GoTo View Link makes an XRef act like it is part of the drawing it is in. In other words, you turn on some layers in the drawing and in the XRef - and save a GTV.
If you want to use OTHER layers in that same XRef in another GTV, you can. Turn on the layers in the drawing and in the XRef - and save a GTV.
Now, if you set up GTV's in the XRef'd file ahead of time, so you can use those to quickly toggle on the layers you want to show in various views - and you then save / update the GTV's in the drawing using the XRef.
