Controls how names are assigned to the "named objects" in an xref when a bind or an edit-in-place operation is performed on it.

Named objects include layers, styles, blocks, views, and so on.
For example, consider a drawing file named Floorplan that includes a layer named Electrical. If this drawing is attached as an xref in the current drawing, that layer name would appear as drawingname | layername, or in this case, Floorplan|Electrical. This naming style is designed to avoid a conflict with any existing layer names in the current drawing.
When BINDTYPE is set to 0, the standard behavior, if a bind operation is performed on the xref, the layer name becomes drawingname$0$layername, or in this case, Floorplan$0$Electrical. If the layer Floorplan$0$Electrical already exists from a previous bind operation, the new layer name would be Floorplan$1$Electrical, and so on.
When BINDTYPE is set to 1, the merge behavior, if a bind operation is performed on the xref, the layer name remains the same, in this case Electrical. This merges the layers from the xref and the current drawing.
