Question
A
If your External reference palette displays a status "Unreferenced" at an xref, it means that this DWG file is attached to the main drawing but it is not used (referenced) in the drawing - has no insertion point, scale, rotation. This is usually a result of an unintentional erase of the xref instance (reference), improper DWG format of the xref or of another error.
You can delete (detach) such orphaned xref - manually from the palette (right-click), or all - using PURGE or using this XDetach routine:
(defun c:XDetach (/ blk) (while (setq blk (tblnext "block" (not blk))) (if (and (cdr (assoc 1 blk)) (< (cdr (assoc 70 blk)) 32)) (command "_-xref" "_d" (cdr (assoc 2 blk)))) ) )
