AutoCAD 2005 Tip: Control default XREF behaviour

In AutoCAD 2005 type “XREFTYPE”. This system variable controls the choice of either Attachment or Overlay in the Xref Manager when attaching a drawing. By default, XREFTYPE is set to 0 (Attachment), set the variable to 1 (Overlay) and when the user goes to attach the Xref, OVERLAY is the default choice in the dialog box instead of attachment.
