    solid hatch covering text in xref

    In my adventures with x-refs & hatches I have found it easier to have the hatches in a separate xref. Atach the x-refs and send the hatch x-ref to the back. In x-refs the only drawing order it recognizes is the order in which the objects were drawn. I know, it sucks!! Hope it helps!! Kat

    relative pathing for xrefs???

    We use pack-n-go in the express tools. It grabs everything associated with the drawings including plot style, xrefs, and fonts and so on. If you don't have the express tools (I recommend you look in to getting them if you don't have them. They are a real time saver and just darn handy) use the...

    Is there a way to link an object to another object? (Meaning that when you stretch, move, copy, or rotate an object, the object that is linked to it will take on the transformation. For example; if you had a rectangle that was linked to another rectangle and you made changes to one, I would...
