Binds one or more definitions of named objects in an xref to the current drawing.
The following prompts are displayed.
Enter symbol type to bind [Block/Dimstyle/LAyer/LType/Style]: Enter an option
Depending on the option, you are prompted for a xref-dependent named object (symbol) such as a block, dimension style, layer, linetype, or text style.
Enter dependent Symbol name(s): Enter a name list or * to bind all xref-dependent named objects (symbols) from that definition table
The name you specify must be the full name, including the vertical bar character ( | ).
The xref-dependent named objects you specify are added to your drawing. You can manipulate them as you would any other named object. The vertical bar character ( | ) from each xref-dependent named object is replaced with a number (usually 0) between two dollar signs ($).
If you specify a layer whose associated linetype is not CONTINUOUS, XBIND also binds the referenced linetype. If you apply XBIND to a block, any block, dimension style, layer, linetype, or text style that's referenced by objects in the block is also bound. If the block contains an xref, XBIND binds that xref and all its dependent named objects.
