UPDATED ON MARKETPLACE
What it does
Adds tools for working with external reference drawings in AutoCAD. Xrefs can be opened with options such as read-only access, matching the master drawing view, and applying master-drawing layer properties. Views and Xref layer properties can be matched between drawings or viewports, including transformed views for scaled, rotated, or offset Xrefs. Xref instances can be modified, hidden, made non-snappable or non-selectable, and have layer properties reset to their source values.
