I left the MOD file...when I came back the Worksheet is gone.
Vanished...is this supposed to happen?
How do I get it to remain in place for further use?

It then appears that you are working on a complete project - and in fact you can save what you are doing as a PLN. But, if you save as a MOD, you are only saving the story information, or in the case of save-selected-as-module, the selected elements.
I inserted an XREF into an Independent Worksheet within a Module file.

Is using a PLN file going to adversely effect my ability to Hotlink these drawings into that Building Plan?

I probably should have mentioned that these MOD file are apartment units to be Hotlinked into a Building Plan PLN file.

Given the original question - concerning an xrefed drawing in a worksheet - I believe you might want to examine using a PLN file and within that file create a Publisher set which publishes (saves) your apartment units as MOD files.
Rather than two pln files, I do all of this within one file, where there are specific views for the shared elements (common walls for a high-rise, common room layouts for hotel, etc) which are published as mod files which are hotlinked back into the file. Hotlinking back to the pln file in that case (vs publishing/saving mod files) is troublesome because you do not have control over which elements are hotlinked. The publish / update hotlinks cycle is pretty easy once the file and hotlinks are set up.
Others with more experience in this area probably have better ideas.
Cheers,

Is there a way to copy worksheets from one .pln file to another?
Sort of like a copy paste?
Thanks in advanced.

However, you can create a new independent Worksheet in your target file, then copy everything in the source Worksheet in the source file and paste them in the target Worksheet in the target file.

That is what I was trying to do with both the PLN files open, but was missing the drag and drop step.
Thank you Rafal!
