Orphan Xref
Has anybody had problems with orphaned XREF's. Am reassembling a 3D architectural model from several elements, by inserting blocks and exploding. Originally the model was a collection of XREF's but I section lines would draw through the XREF's. However one of the blocks wouldn't insert because 'it was already an XREF in the drawing'. Checking the XREF's in Drawing Explorer shows 2 unloaded XREF's which can't be deleted or purged and no sign of the problem XREF. Neither does the XREF appear as a block.
Also, why can't I purge the layers of the exploded blocks?
Am I alone with this problem.

Ralph,
could you please file a support request and attach a zip file with the drawings that result in the problem you describe? We will investigate what goes wrong, why it goes wrong, and try to help you out.
Kind regards

I've had a similar problem - unable to rename an XREF because it says that an XREF with the same name exists but doesn't list it in the XREF dialogue. I've an idea I may have caused the problem by selecting the XREF in the drawing window and pressing 'delete' rather than detaching it in the XREF dialogue. That is a guess only - I've not had the time to test and try and replicate the error. The drawing I was having a problem with needed a lot of work doing to it anyway, so the problem ended up getting resolved by creating a new drawing and copying the drawing entities in from the old one (and re-attaching the XREFs). I appreciate that's not a practical answer for most drawings.
