To Update an Attached Xref

  1. Click Window menu > Reference Manager.
  2. In the Reference Manager palette, select the reference name that you want to reload.
    Note: An xref that needs to be updated is indicated in the Reference Manager by a lightning bolt.
  3. Optional: Compare the xref to the reference drawing.
    • Right-click, click Compare > Recent Changes.
    • Review the changes as highlighted on the current drawing by revision clouds and color.
    • Close the comparison from the Xref Compare visor.
  4. Right-click, and click Reload.

If the drawing you selected has been changed since you opened your drawing, the xref is reloaded.

Note: Xrefs reload automatically when a drawing is opened.
