Xref won`t attach. Error message: An xref with name ... already exists. Choose another file!

I have a dwg that I have attached some time ago to the archicad model file, and subsequently detached it, as I did not need it anymore. Of course now I need it again, and when I try to attach it, Archicad will not allow me. It says that the file name already exists. But when I check in the xref manager, the drawing is not there. It seems like that Archicad remembers the file that I have attached..

 

Is there a way to have Archicad forgetting the names of the xref files that have been detached?

Hey, it seems to be a bug a few years ago, but now when I tried with newer builds of Archicad it no longer happens. You may want to check whether you had the latest build installed?
