Xref layer states while in edit-in-place

[BlackBox]

Christ don't I feel stupid. I thought I had to explode or edit the xref before I could select individual objects/layers. Didn't realise individual objects they could be selected while it was one entity. Thanks.

No worries; I didn't mean to make you feel bad, as it is impossible (for us mere humans) to remember every command, for every version, etc. IMO.

I linked the commands, as I frequently consult the documentation myself (be it for the Command List, or Developer Help).

Glad you found this useful, cheers!

Man, that tells you just how old this routine is.... I remember my CServe password, but for sure not my CSID. That's probably stashed on a 5-1/4" 360k floppy somewhere....

interesting -- my dialog for probe shows optins to freeze the xref layer

Ehhehehehe... Reminds me of that scene from Rio:

[as they enter an club full of birds dancing and thumping with music]
Blu: This is the coolest place I've ever seen! Despite all the obvious health code violations.
Rafael: I like you! Nothing you say makes any sense.

LoL

Mine looks similar but without the two boxes for freezing and turning off

Anyway I'm all good now. Thanks all.

That one worked alright cheers.

That's handy for turning off layers within Blocks alright.

What's wrong with using LAYON, LAYOFF, or LAYFRZ, LAYTHW Commands?

Also if you just want the name, layer, color, and linetype you can use the Express Tool XLIST command. It works for both blocks and xrefs.

If you _really_ wanted to know more about an entity....

I have my own adaptations to this concept, but Lee's comes with tutorial(s) and a flashy website:
