I have used XREFs before and understand the principle around them. I am currently drawing up a building and yard etc. and keep making revisions to it. I also need to show the outline of buildings etc. on a site map, which is at a different orientation (Map showing north). Instead of copying my most recent buildings, rotating and copying them over unto the site map, is there a way I can make the building that I have copied unto the site map dependant on my main drawing ? Just like an XREF only not linked from an external drawing ......... Hope this makes sense ------------- -- Trainee Structural Engineering Technician |

But the block will not automatically update ? I know what your saying, I could paste the new stuff into the block editor mmmmmmmmmmm I'll try that. Thanks Pepa ------------- -- Trainee Structural Engineering Technician |
