New to TSI and playing with the DWG underlay feature in Estimating.  Have the following issues:

1.  I've got a "Master" Xref I use for my AutoCAD drawings that contains 8 "sub-xrefs" from various projects we have done.  When I try loading this "Master" xref I get the error message "Failed to imort dwf file".  I can load each individual xref and they underlay fine.  This leads me to problem #2.

2.  When loading multiple Xrefs I have no control of where they are placed.  The Xrefs I am loading all have the same 0,0 in AutoCad however when I load them in EST, it is picking a generic point in the middle of the file and loading that at the center.  This makes nothing line up.  I can manually move each one to get it close, but there should be a way to make these line up.

Any ideas as to why it won't load my "master" Xref?

Is there anyway to set the insertion point for xrefs so I could at least load my "sub" xrefs manually?
