â–  The Reference Name displays the name of the drawing.
â–  Status displays whether the xref is loaded or unloaded in the
host drawing, and it displays the host drawing as Open if it is
open in the drawing window. If the host drawing is not open
in the drawing window, status is left blank.
â–  Size displays the file size of the selected drawing.
â–  Type displays whether the drawing is an attachment, an
overlay, or the host drawing.
â–  Date displays the last date the selected drawing was modified.
â–  Saved Path displays the saved path, if any, that is used to locate
the xref. This path can be a full (absolute) path or a relative
(partially specified) path.

path was saved for the xref, or if the xref is no longer located
at the specified path, the program searches for the xref and
displays the location here.

Converting an Element to a Construct
Use this procedure to convert an element to a construct.
If you create an element and realize later that you do not need this drawing
as a repeating element, you can convert it into a construct.
NOTE Do not drag an element to the Constructs folder within Windows Explorer.
This will result in inconsistent project data.
1 On the Quick Access toolbar, click Project Navigator .
