    Default Phantom Boxes?

    Currently running 2011, and I have the most up to date object enablers configured on my machine. We are receiving drawings from architects, and it looks fine when you open their files on our machines. However, when we XREF their .dwg files into our site plan, there are some "phantom boxes" showing up on the drawing. Seems as if their drawing is made in Revit due to all the blocks. When I try exploding them, we get more boxes showing up in our file. Help?

    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Xclip'd blocks in the Xref's.

    I had that issue when I went into AutoCAD 2010 from 2008.

    Unless you are using the Xclip Tool and need to see the frames for the items you are working on that are not in the Xref's... its one of those catch 22 situations
