In this video I will tell you about editing and flipping the external references.
So right now we have this main drawing which is a sample plan and drawing and also we have these two
external references which are advised in this drawing.
Now let's say that we want to modify one of these external references in order to do that.
You can simply go to the princes panel expand it and select this added reference option.
You can either select the edit references option or you can also select its Kamandi Island which is
a ref edit.
So either way you can start this tool.
Now click on the external reference which you want to modify.
In this case had this extra reference and it will prompt you with the list.
Here we have it.
We want to change it.
We want to modify this one.
Now click on OK.
And the extended appearance has been selected.
Now you'll notice that all of the drawing is fitted and only this part of the drawing will remain with
complete brightness and that indicates the active part.
All of these bars are now deactivated and you can you this one.
So in this case we have this East elevation drawing.
Let's modify it and I'll add one more circle over here.
So I'll go to home and I'll add a circle here and here we have it.
Now we have modified this drawing Let's see it.
So here on the end you will see this new band where we have the save changes and discard changes so
let's see if changes click on OK and the changes are saved not only in this external reference but they're
also saved in the orignal drawing which was this eased elevation doing because that's the drawing which
has been referenced as an external reference.
So if you open this East television you will find a new circle has been added there.
Now in this case we have selected the rafted command but there are also a couple of other ways which
you can use to modify these extra differences.
So one of the easiest method is selecting the external reference file.
So whenever you select any external reference you'll notice that a new external reference type will
open up with these options.
Now here we have this option added reference in place which is the same option as a ref added and it
will highlight the current reference so I'll click on OK.
And here you can see that the current reference has been highlighted.
Rest of the part has been dimmed and you can modify it here directly.
Now once the modification is done you can see the changes or discard the changes.
So I'll save the changes.
OK.
And we are back to the original point.
The second method is directly opening the drawing.
So you can select this drawing and click on open reference.
Now this will open a new tab here and autocad is simply opening the front elevation drawing for you.
And it's like opening this front elevation drawing here.
So the drawing has been opened.
You can simply make the modification in this one.
So let's bring it to fullscale and now you can modify it over here.
So once again I'll go to circle I'll add one more circle here.
And we have made the modification now we don't have any new staff receiving.
We need to see if the complete enjoying so click on this save and the front elevation ring has been
saved.
Let's close it and we have the external reference bubble that indicates there is a change.
So here look at this part.
Click on this link and the part has been updated.
So these are the two different ways which you can use to modify your external reference.
In many cases next and the references file are very large.
In our case the scale of this drawing is not very large but if the scale is extremely large and you
want to show only a part of that text and the reference you can use the clipping tool.
So here in this case I'll go to this East elevation external reference and let's see that in this case
we only want to include this code in wall area.
We don't want to short rest of this drawing.
Now for that I'll go to this Insert tab once again and now select this clip option now select the external
reference which you want to clip which is this one in this case.
And now we have couple of options on the command line.
So currently don't select any of these options simply press enter.
And now you can select these options so either you can select the existing polyline or polygon a rectangular
shape.
You can make it and then what.
So I select rectangular and now make a rectangle shape here and we have the clipping.
So whatever is included inside this rectangle is visible and rest of the pod is invisible.
Now in this case if you click on this boundary you'll see these groups which can be used to modify this
clipping boundary even further.
And we also have this added clip that is the flipping direction.
So using this clip you can flip the bar which is visible in this case if you want to hide this part
and sure the remaining part you can simply click on this arrow and that will show the remaining part
and it will hide the part here.
So let's press Escape key and here we have it.
In this case we have this clipping boundary visible.
Now if you want to hide this clipping boundary you can use the x clip frame system variables or type
X frame.
Press enter and you'll see the default value.
Do you change it to Zeeuw and press enter.
And now we don't have that boundary but still if you go to the boundary and if you select it you will
find the boundary here.
It will be highlighted and once you press escape the boundary will once again disappear.
To bring it back select X clip frame and change its value to two again.
So also like this boundary and I'll select this remove clipping.
We don't want it anymore.
And here we have the normal external reference so let's press escape.
And here we have the drawing.
