Xref

Hi All

My first post and one that has plagued me since the very begining XREF's.

I am presently working on a design and build project, CAD is not my day job but i produce our companies drawings, presently the GA Floor plan is up to revision G this is a small project and there are a crazy number of revisions. However you can get the picture, everytime I submit my drawings and change designs, the floor plan is upgraded and I am told to ammend the floor plan.

I figured the best way would be to XREF the floor plan to my mechanical design, so in the event the plan ends up out of date I can remove it and add the new. Would this be the best way?

Also I can never get quite to grips with these things, i have to upload them to a project server, in this instance when somebody else opens the files will the xref have gone a stray and is there a way to link them where this will not happen, if somebody could explain this to me i would be very greatful, remember compared to most of you guy's i am a complete noob.

Thanks in advance

Use 'relative path method to xref so that the links will not be broken in case you move the drawings to your server. there is a thread discussing how to assign relative path. if you do search you may find it, or i will find it later & post a link
