using CTRL+F inside xref'd drawings
Is there any way to use the search function in a drawing that has multiple xref's in it?
The reason I ask is that we have a project at hand where we need to have a whole bunch of drawings by means of xref added to it. All the sub-drawings(=xref) are still work in progress and actively modified. It would be very beneficial if the overview drawing could be searched (tags) without having to constantly opening up all the sub-drawings to try to find the one tag in the one drawing.
I would think that either I'm overlooking something or that at least someone has a LISP routine that does that but so far I haven't found any solution.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Peter

Hello.
In Bricscad, FIND is limited to the current drawing.
If using lisp is being considered, then something worth investigating could be the solution from Lee Mac.

There's a hundred useful functions that don't work with blocks or Xrefs, until opened in Refedit, or even then … just recently they've withdrawn the ability to Hide/Unhide any element that forms part of a block or Xref - has destroyed my workflow.

Cheers. Not what I need for the problem at hand but one of Lee Mac's routines that I never looked into and that might be very useful for other issues.
