What is the difference between BIND and insert in Autocad?
Re: What is the difference between an 'insert' and 'bind' in the 'Bind' command. Insert basically brings in the XREF as if you used the Insert command. the drawing file. Bind still inserts it as a block but layers stay unique.
All this is further explained here. Regarding this, what is bind xref in AutoCAD?
Bind converts the objects in the xref into a block reference. Named object definitions are added to the current drawing with a prefix of blockname $n$, where n is a number starting at 0. Insert also converts the objects in the xref into a block reference.
Likewise, can you explode an xref? Re: exploding an xref You cannot explode an xref, however, you can explode a block. First convert the xref into a block by binding it to the drawing then explode it.
