How do you remove a data link in AutoCAD XREF?

What I have been doing is AutoCad erasing the graphics from my drawing but the link still remains in the xref manager window. Any help is appreciated. Type in DATALINK. Right-click on the datalinks and select Delete.

Solution:

  1. Move the data link or all other objects to their own layer and then use the LAYDEL command to delete the layer with the data link.
  2. Copy the entire drawing over to a new file. …
  3. Locate the element or definition within the drawing that references the data link.

Right-click over the selected cell and choose Data Links Detach Data Link. The data link to the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or command delimited file is removed from the table.

enter the table and select all the cells, then right click->data link->unlink. then you can also remove the data link from the data link manager.

To set up Data Links:

  1. Launch the TABLE command.
  2. Click “From a data link“, and launch the “Data Link Manager” by clicking the button (illustrated).
  3. Click “Create a new Excel Data Link”
  4. Name the Data Link – something intuitive.
  5. Browse for your Excel Table.
