    I am using autocad 2004 and I'm drawing a floor plan. I xref in the 2d
    points including levels and string lines etc (created using a theodolite on
    site by a surveyor) and bring them in on layer 0 and lock the layer, but
    when trimming or extending I am able to select the seperate lines on the
    xref which I do not want to do so I then locked all the layers in the xref
    but I can still select them when trimming and extending as the cutting line.
    The last version of Autocad I used was r14 and have only just recently
    changed, is there a way in 2004 to stop the selection of xref lines or is it
    something I am going to have to get used to? I think once a layer is locked
    you shouldn't be able to do ANYTHING with that layer, it makes no sense to
    me.

    anyway, any usefull replies will be appreciated
