Summary

The CP_XTRACTXREFLAYER command in CADPower for BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander allows users to extract specific layers from an attached Xref (External Reference) and bring them into the current drawing as independent layers. This is useful when working with complex drawings where only selected layers from an Xref need to be accessed or modified.

CADPower -> Miscellaneous Tools -> CAD Procedures 1st -> Extract layer from Xref

Key features include:

• Extract Specific Layers – Isolate and bring selected layers from an Xref into the current drawing.
• Preserve Layer Properties – Retains layer attributes such as color, linetype, and visibility.
• Enhance Drawing Control – Allows users to work with referenced layers without modifying the original Xref.
• Ideal for Large and Complex Drawings – Simplifies working with Xrefs by extracting only necessary layers.
• Compatible with Major CAD Platforms – Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander.

Benefits:

With CP_XTRACTXREFLAYER, users can efficiently manage Xref layers, improving workflow flexibility while maintaining drawing integrity.
