Question CAD

Q - question

Xref NAME has multiple references. Not detached.
A - answer When attempting to detach an xref from a main drawing, AutoCAD displays the error "Xref NAME has multiple references. Not detached.", resp. (German version) "Xref NAME hat mehrere Referenzen. Nicht gelöst."

This is caused by referencing the given xref multiple times into the drawing. It may appear when attaching an xref in paperspace (in layouts), by inserting it into a nested block (or nested xref - A xrefs B and C but C xrefs B), or when you have a block definition with the same name.

Check your layouts and deleted/detach xrefs from there, purge unused blocks in the main drawing and in the complaining xref.
