Why does Xref file convert to a block

 I am trying to insert an xref file into paperspace of multiple layout tabs
I run XREF, I attach the block, no issue first insertion
and the file appears on the Xref List
when I highlight that file (in Explorer/Xref) and select INSERT XREF
it becomes a block, and it disappears from the Xref List
(sure, it has become a block somehow)
But now there is no xref left to insert.
Am I doing something wrong?
v16.2.03 (x64)

  •  Nevermind.  ;-)
    I read the manual (yes, I got THAT desperate)
    "Insert Xref = Converts xrefs into blocks
    I needed to execute ATTACH XREF multiple times.
    Silly me, sorry.
  •  Even reading the manual confused me in my v14. I had to figure it out by trial an error.
