13 | Basics Windows and Editors Reference > Reference editor menus Note Using Clean Up Reference should be done only if you are certain that you will no longer require the edits it will remove. Using Clean Up Reference on a loaded reference removes all edits which could not be applied. Using Clean Up Reference on an unloaded reference will remove all edits, whether they could be applied or not, and so should be used with care to avoid unwanted data loss. Select File Contents Selects all items in the selected reference file. Reference Menu Reload Reference/Unload Reference Loads or unloads the selected reference. If the current reference is already loaded, reload updates the loaded reference. This is useful when the reference file is being edited simultaneously. Load Related Reference/Unload Related Reference Loads or unloads references related to selected objects. For example, if you want to unload an object and the reference to which it belongs without having to open the Reference Editor and figure out which reference should be unloaded, you can simply right+click on the object and choose Unload Related Reference. As well, you can select a locator or annotation, and then load its related references (you must select both the locator/annotation and the foster parent node for this to work). Duplicate Reference Duplicates the file associated with the selected reference. Replace Reference Opens a file browser to replace the current reference with the one you select. The group node and/or locator remains the same. Recently Replaced Files Lists recently-replaced reference files. Remove Reference Removes the selected reference and associated reference nodes from the scene file. This is the preferred method for removing a reference and its associated nodes. Lock Reference/Unlock Reference Locks or unlocks all of the nodes and attributes for a selected file reference. A lock icon appears beside the listed file reference within the Reference Editor to indicate the locked status. Basics 385
