I'm having an issue opening up referenced files when I have drawings already opened with a file referenced into it. For example, I have a sheet of elevations already open, if I try to open the separate elevation reference file, cad displays a message that the file is already in use. I imagine it’s a simple command line option, but any help would be much appreciated.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Open and Save tab
On the external references section make sure that 'enable with copy' is selected.
Sounds like this might be the issue
