Xref compatibility

When working with drawings that use Xref files, 24/7 will recognize and automatically manage the links between the files and will make it possible to view the master file together with all its referenced files in the 2D viewer. To ensure the Viewer displays the complete drawing correctly, the files must be uploaded in the proper order and stored in the correct location:

  • All Xref files must be uploaded before the master file.
  • Referenced files must exist in the same folder or project with the master file.
