Summary

The CP_BindXref command in CADPower, compatible with BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander, is a powerful tool for managing external references (XREFs) in a DWG file. It efficiently detaches all unreferenced (unresolved) XREFs while binding all valid attached XREFs into the current drawing.
