    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.

    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.
