    Lightbulb X-ref management in Project Navigator

    It would be nice to be able to manage x-refs directly in PN. By having a nested hirarchy as in x-ref manager inside the Constructs tab of PN. I have manipulated an image to describe how I would like to see it, it's attached here.

    Some see the glass as half full, others as half empty. As an engineer I see the glass as twice as big as it needs to be. ~Unknown~

    Yup, great idea. I'd also like to see "unload x-ref" on the right click menu of any x-ref.

    Really, I would like them to add an additional XREF like function to ACA which would work with the PN.

    I feel that ACA is limited by the way AutoCAD XREF's work and that users can easily change (**** up) model files.

    For instance, being able to detatch an XREF deletes the AEC dim attached to it.

    Also, if you use an XREF containing a slab as a subtraction for a wall - it is removed when you detach the XREF.

    Also, theres the whole XREF - overlay / attach thing with views and constructs.

    So what I woudl like is a side by side "AECXREF" which the PN would totally control.

    If I have to reset up another view drawing when some muppet has detached the XREF's ...

    Bad Gonzo, bad! Must not detach xrefs! (But I am glad to see that at least some of the Muppets found employment after the cancellation of the Muppet Show.)
