Hi Gerrit,

C‌urrently external references ‌are not supported when importing from DWG.

I‌f you have access to AutoCAD you can use Explode and Purge commands to bring the XREFs into the current DWG file and import that or, if you email the DWG and all associated XREF files to techsupport@stardraw.com, we can do that for you.

Hi Rob,

T‌hanks for your quick response...
‌
A‌t the ISE last week I spoke to one of your colleagues and he told me that there has been some testing done alreay, but that it wasn't jet implemented in the software. He also told me to write a post in the forum to remind him about this feature request which would be a great feature for us as we commonly get buildingplans from external company's with external references and we don't have an AutoCAD licenses because we use Stardraw . Because of NDA we are not allowed to send those files to external companies... 

C‌ould you please ask around with your colleagues?

Gerrit,

I‌t was I that you spoke to at ISE and asked you to post to the forum.
‌
As you said in your post, this is a great way for us to track publicly the progress of any feature requests and to have an open discussion on implementation details.

Y‌ou said that you wanted external referenced files to have their own Layer Names when brought into Stardraw. Is this standard?

‌‌I could see that you could quickly end up with thousands of layers if you had hundreds of external references each with tens of layers in them.

I‌s this an in house standard?‌
