Changing xref types in AutoCAD R14

If you've ever inserted an xref into a drawing as an Overlay (either on purpose or by accident) but you later decide that it needs to be an attachment, there's an easy way to change the xref type. Right-click on the xref to open the External Reference dialog box. Now, simply double-click on the word Overlay in the Type column. The file type will toggle from Overlay to Attach. If you want to switch back to Overlay, simply double-click the type column again. Its as simple as that.
