To Detach an Underlay

  1. Click Window menu > Reference Manager.
  2. In the Reference Manager palette, select the underlay you want to detach.
  3. Right-click on the underlay and click Detach.

    The underlay is no longer linked to the drawing file. All instances of the underlay are removed from the drawing.

Note: Erasing an individual instance of an underlay is not the same as detaching it. An underlay must be detached to remove the link from your drawing to the file.
