Procedure

Attach Drawing References (Xrefs)
You can insert any drawing file as an external reference or xref in the current drawing.
Set Paths to Referenced Drawings
You can view and edit the file name and path used when locating a particular drawing reference (xref). Use this option if the referenced file has been moved to a different folder or renamed since it was first attached.
Detach Referenced Drawings
To completely remove DWG references (xrefs) from your drawing, you need to detach them rather than erase them.
