Loading DXF External Reference Parts
A DXF file sometimes contains references to external parts, which are called External Reference Parts and are usually stored separately in another DXF file. All DXF external reference parts translated are listed in the log file, so you can check the log file to see if they exist (for example, WORK_FILE and REF_FILE).
To load these external parts back into the translated MI file:
1. Position the external reference file, called REF_FILE.
2. Write the WORK_FILE and the REF_FILE.
3. Copy both files to the workstation.
4. Load WORK_FILE. The system displays reference-point text.
5. Load the reference file REF_FILE at the reference-point text.
The system displays the message:
DXF WARNING - External reference filename not included.
where filename is the name of the file.
