* Understanding External References: * External references (Xrefs) allow you to attach drawing files within your current drawing, enabling collaborative work and data sharing. * Xrefs can be attached as Overlay or Attachment. Overlays do not include nested Xrefs, while Attachments do. * Identifying the Problem: * The exhibit shows that the Buildings drawing is nested within the Contours Xref. * To remove the Buildings drawing from the C-3 drawing, it must be detached from the Xref hierarchy. * Steps to Detach Xref: * Right-click (Control-click) the Buildings reference in the Xref Manager. * Select the Detach option. This will remove the Buildings reference from the drawing. * Conclusion: * To remove the Buildings drawing from the C-3 drawing, detach the Buildings reference directly from the Xref Manager.
