When working on a large project, it becomes almost impossible to use only a single drawing for everything. As an example, if you are working on the plans for a large building, you can assign different team members working on the project to different parts of the drawing. A team member can work on the main plan, someone else can work on exteriors, another can work on electrical plans, and another person can work on heat and ventilation drawings. All these drawings can then be clubbed together into a single file using XRefs.

Using this method, you can have multiple people work on a single project seamlessly. Another advantage of using XRefs is that the people working on a project can focus just on their drawing and the drawing progress can be shared in real time.

In the following examples, we will learn everything about making and managing XRefs.
