Inserting multiple XREFs in AutoCAD 2010 – fixed in Update 1

Problem solved…
I originally posted this issue as a question… and then found the answer myself! Typical, doesn’t it just always happen that way!

The problem was with AutoCAD 2010 and the selection of multiple drawings for insertion as xref’s…

This was not possible before the release of Update 1 for AutoCAD 2010.

Autodesk posted a work-around for this issue back in July (before the update)…

Anyway, the “workaround” now, is to install Update 1 for AutoCAD 2010…
and then to remember to read all of the “Defects Fixed” section of the Readme files provided with all future updates!

AutoCAD 2010 Update 1 is available

The first update (service pack) is now available for AutoCAD 2010, for details and to download…
