# External Reference Palette [GstarCAD 2027](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/(Commands).md) → [Dialog Boxes](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/03%20Dialog%20Boxes/(Dialog%20Boxes).md) ## Function Description: This palette is used to edit and control an external reference in the current drawing.  **Palette Options:** ## **List View and Tree View** External references in the current drawing are displayed in two ways: list view and tree view. ## **Reference Name** The reference name column always displays the current drawing as the first entry, followed by additional attached files that are listed in the order they were attached. ## **Status** The status of the referenced file. ## **Size** The size of the attached file reference. ## **Type** The file type of the external referenced file. ## **DATE** The date when the referenced file was created or last saved. ## **Save path** Displays the path that is saved with the drawing when the referenced file is attached. ## **Tree view** Displays the path that is saved with the current drawing when the referenced file is attached. ## **Found At** Displays the full path of the currently selected referenced file. This is where the referenced file is actually found and is not necessarily the same as the saved path. --- [Original help](https://www.gstarcad.net/help/GstarCAD_2027_en-US/detail/commandReferences_X/XREF_DIA.html) · © Gstarsoft Co., Ltd.
