Editing X-REFS

Hi,
I have a drawing border that comes in with a title
block. I can't enter any changes into the
title block. The whole title block just
shows that it has been selected, but I can't change
the title bock to add rev. info etc.
Need help.

Is it possibly a block with attributes?

Yes, it could be, I'll check that.

Are you sure it's an xref? Did you try exploding it?

Try using ddatte or _ddatte.

It will not explode. It's also not a block, with attributes. It's an X-ref.and "overlays" the drawing. If I put info in the title block it stays in the drawing itself, but that is alright.
I think editing an x-ref is not easily done.

Editing an xref is very easily done but it has to be done from the source file. If you really want to change it, go to the source. If you don't want to change the source, bind it. It will then be a part of your drawing.

Unless you use REFEDIT.
