ok i have a question, and I've browsed around and i don't see it.

can i change the xref path for more than one file at a time??
i had to make a back up copy for a project but those drawings are still referencing to the old path. Is there a way to change the folder for all of them?? thanks.

if this question was in another post, my bad!

Reference Manager, it's on the Start menu, not inside of AutoCAD.

Got to Start->Programs->autodesk->reference manager

It is a program that comes with acad. When you open it click on the add drawings icon and browse to the drawings that you need to change the xrefs for. Once they come up use find and replace to change the folders...
