External Reference / Block Reference
Hello - I can't seem to work out how to: insert a Plan Drawing into model space of a Title Sheet drawing and be able to constantly update the Plan Drawing like you would an external reference on other CAD software. Please give some direction on this topic?
Re: External Reference / Block Reference
External block references (XRefs) are not supported at this point in QCAD.
Re: External Reference / Block Reference
Thank you very much again for your quick reply.
What about inserting the external file as a block and updating a base file. Is that supported? I haven't quite got it yet.

Re: External Reference / Block Reference
You could insert a file as a block (File > Import) and when the block needs updating from the file, re-import it and check the "Overwrite blocks" option.
