Setting the default Reference Type with XREFTYPE variable *Applies to: AutoCAD 2005*
AutoCAD 2005 introduces many small and subtle
changes with the new enhancements of Sheet Sets and Background Masking
for Mtext. One of these small changes is a way to set it so all
Xrefs being attached will default to Attachment or Overlay Reference
Type. This
allows you to preset set the default to work with your
companies standards as some always use Attachment, while others use Overlay
Reference type. This
change only affects the XREF dialog box and not the Command Line
equivalent of -XREF. This new variable is called XREFTYPE and its
values are listed below.
0 (Attachment) -
Xref dialog box defaults to Attachment for
Reference type
1 (Overlay) -
Xref dialog box defaults to Overlay for
Reference type
Command Line:
Command: xreftype
Enter new value for XREFTYPE <0>: 1
