    Default XRef of conduit - centerline in plan view?

    I'm working with acad 2009 mep... when I xref an electrical drawing into a piping drawing the xref in plan view only shows center line of conduit...? Is there a way for it to show the conduit and not the center line?

    Hi Jason,

    If I were a betting man (and I am) I would bet the problem has to do with the display representation. Check the lower right corner of the drawing and see if it is using the "Standard" display rep. If it is, change it to "MEP Design" or a 2-Line Representation. If the drawing was created in another program it may not have any other representations than "Standard" in that case you'll need to import an existing rep.

    Hope this helps,

    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~
