Newbie needs some help with xrefs

    I work with CorelDraw but get sent source files in Autocad. Up until
    now I have survived with my limited knowledge to get to the point of
    exporting in .wmf, to then continue in CorelDraw . This has worked well
    so far with 5 minutes or so needed in Autocad. [I am not comparing
    Autocad with CorelDraw - two different tools for two different jobs]

    My problem is that my source .dwg is too busy and uses xrefs; And I
    cant get alternative source.

    I need to be able to select only part of the overall .dwg for
    exporting, but the xref layer is "grouped" /locked.

    Have tried unlocking xref layers and editing but this did not work.
    I have tried the xref manager and Bind but this did not work.

    I would like to remove all xrefs and have all objects in 1 file which I
    can then edit/select.

    Can anyone help ?
