Update Referenced Drawings
GstarCAD 2027 · Command Reference
All DWG references (xrefs) are updated automatically, when you open a drawing. You can also use the Reload option from the "External Reference" palette or dialog box.
Notification of Changed Xrefs
When you attach xrefs to a drawing, the program periodically checks if the referenced files have changed since the last time the xrefs were loaded or reloaded. If a referenced file is changed, a balloon message is displayed. You can reload all changed xrefs by clicking the link in the balloon.
Update Xrefs with Demand Loading Turned On
If demand loading is turned on when you load or reload an xref:
- The referenced drawing is kept open and locked, when the XLOADCTL system variable is set to 1. The referenced drawing can not be modified by anyone else.
- A temporary copy of the most recently saved version of the referenced file is opened and locked, when XLOADCTL is set to 2. The referenced drawing can be opened and modified by others.
