How to open a drawing without loading its Xrefs?

Use the Partial Open function to load your .DWG file (see the arrow near the Open button in the Open file dialog or the -PARTIALOPEN command).

Now check only those layers that do not belong to a Xref or check the "Unload all Xrefs on open" box.

Please note that since ADT 2004 SP1 you cannot use Partial Open on Architectural Desktop DWGs.
