what are Orphaned xrefs?

[Marc Lipka]

At one time I found info in the r14 help about orphaned xrefs and other
status definitions, but can't seem to find it again. How do I find
these orphaned xrefs a home?

Thanks for the help

Loaded

Xref was found when the drawing was opened or reloaded.

Unloaded

Xref was unloaded by user.

Unreferenced

When an xref with nested xrefs is unloaded, not found, or unresolved,
its nested xrefs become unreferenced because the parent xref is no
longer present in the drawing. If a parent xref is unloaded, a message
is displayed stating that its nested xrefs are "orphaned."

Not found

Xref was not found when the drawing was opened or reloaded.

Unresolved

Xref file was found but could not be read by AutoCAD.

Thanks for the help. I had figured it out after reading a few of the
hundreds of xrefs i received today.
