Binding an xref using the "insert" option

[Gene Resch]

Hi would like a way to bind xrefs either using a script or lisp routine that
would bind it with the "insert" option so that I don't get the long layer
names. Is there a way to do that? I've searched through all of the
documentation that I could find, and can't see where the insert option
appears anywhere but in the dialog box. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You have to replicate that functionality with your own code because as near
as I can tell, it is not exposed to the lisp programmer.

I gave up searching for it and rolled my own.

You can either do a "standard bind" and then walk thru all the tables
(layers, styles, blocks ...) stripping the filename$0$--- crud, or detach,
and then insert; the downside of the latter is that you have to re-establish
the layer status as was, which is fun but not impossible, when you
complicate it with vplayer status in each viewport .

Thank Michael, that's what I was afraid of. Well, at least I know I'm not
trying to re-invent the wheel..
