Binding Xrefs On occasion, you will want to permanently attach an Xref to the host drawing. If you send your drawing files to a printing service to be plotted, including a set of Xref files can complicate things. Also, for archiving finished work, it’s better to reduce the number of files. There may also be occasions when the Xref has been revised for the last time and no longer needs to be a separate file. In all these situations, you will use the Bind command to convert an external reference into a block that will be stored permanently in the host drawing. Open the Xref Manager dialog box and highlight the Cabin12a Xref. Click the Bind button to open the Bind Xrefs dialog box. The two options in the Bind Type area have to do with how layers are treated when an Xref is bound to the host drawing. The default is Bind. It sets the Xref layers to be maintained as unique layers in the host drawing. With the Insert option, layers that have the same name in the two drawin...

Applications for Xrefs There are many different uses for external references. I will describe two common applications to illustrate their range. Let’s suppose you are working on a project as an interior designer and a subcontractor to the lead architect. The architect can give you a drawing of a floor plan that is still undergoing changes. You load this file onto your hard disk, in a specially designated folder, and then Xref it into your drawing as a background— a drawing to be used as a reference to draw over. You can now proceed to lay out furniture, partitions, and so on, while the architect is still refining the floor plan. At an agreed-on time, the architect will give you a revised version of the floor plan. You will overwrite the one that you have on your computer with the latest version. You can then reload the Xref into your furniture layout drawing, and the newer version of the floor plan will now be the background. In this example, the lead architect might al...

Taking Advantage of the Numeric Keypad Seeing that pressing the Enter key automatically advances the cell pointer to a new cell in the next row down — conveniently getting you in place for your next entry — I don’t see that you have any excuse for not entering ranges of numerical entries from your keyboard’s numeric keypad. (After all, your keypad does have an Enter key nearby even if it’s embedded in the standard keyboard, as is the case on almost all laptops.) When it comes to entering spreadsheet numbers with any speed, using the number keys along the top row of the standard QWERTY keyboard just doesn’t cut it. Unfortunately, the numeric keypad on your computer is not really the equivalent of the old adding machine’s 10-key number pad. On the computer keyboard, the keypad mostly does double-duty with other keys (cursor keys when the pad stands apart from the standard keyboard, and other letter and punctuation keys when it’s embedded within the keyboard itself). As a result of this d...
