X-REF conundrum

    How can I quickly find the layer of an X-REFed drawing so I can turn it
    off - without opening the original XREF to see what layer it is on?

    Bear in mind I am using ACAD 2005 LT.

    Thanks in advance

    Opening the xref'd file will tell you nothing about on which layer it is
    inserted in the host file.

    I know that's what he asked - but I don't think it's what he meant!

    Does acad lt have a list command? If so it should tell you what layer
    the xref is on.

    In the host file.

    there is a express toolbar called "block tools" that will allow you to list
    individual entities in a block or x-ref.

    anthother thing you could do is freeze it in a layout window and then check
    to see what layer is frozen.
