When dealing with multiple levels of xrefs (nested xrefs), you can control whether a file appears in all levels or just one. If you ATTACH Drawing A to Drawing B, any file that references Drawing B will also see Drawing A. If you OVERLAY Drawing A on Drawing B, however, files that reference Drawing B will not see Drawing A. How you use these two options will vary depending on the end effect that you want, but it's important to know the difference between the two methods.

About the blog
Welcome to Kate's CAD Tips!
I've been sending these tips out to my office once a week for about three years now, and decided to start the blog as a way to put them all in one place. Who knows, maybe they'll help somebody else out there too!
Some of the tips are pretty basic, but hey, we all had to start somewhere.
Most of the tips apply to AutoCAD 2004 & up -- I'll try to note if it's only available in later versions, but no promises. And ALL the tips apply to AutoCAD LT.
As always, if you have a tip you'd like to see featured, send it on in!
