problem with field in xref

[zintonio]

Hi
I have a dwg in which i inserted a field=dwg name file.
I open a new dwg i connect an xrif previously created and the field does not update. How can i update the field.
A trick to do that is to copy the xrif and magically the field become correct. But if i save and close and open again the problem comes again.

es.
(if i insert the xrif (Xrif.dwg) in TEST.dwg the field should be TEST.dwg instead of Xrif.dwg.)

How can i update the field in xrif when it is inserted in a new drawing
I hope to be clear.
Thanks

Does REGEN work?

HI fuccaro, thanjs for reply.
REGEN does not work!
I try to control FIELDEVAL is set to 31.
The only method to make appear the name of file is to copy&paste the xrif into test.dwg and magically the field become right.

If I regen all or _updatefield does not appear anything. I don't know why

Fieleval 31 should update on regen. Is there an UPDATEFIELD command in AutoCAD 2008?

After 2 UPDATEFIELD and 1 regen the field become correct.
Thanks
