    Default object fields in xref

    Surprisingly, there is only one post about this and it's unanswered.
    I have 2 blocks with field attributes that report the x and y position of a non-plotting point in the block. It works fine in its original file but when it is xreffed into another drawing the field values are incorrect. I've had this issue with the length parameter of a block as well.

    I would love to use fields for this type of application more but right now i'm going to have to explode all the blocks to get the appropriate values to display.

    (see screenshots)

    Anybody help?

    Looks like a problem on the Unit type on another drawing, can you attach both the xref and the drawing you where attaching to.
