Changing Reference Path?

Quite often I will copy and paste some files out of an older project and move it to a new folder. Any file being x-ref'd is still pointing to the old location as it have saved the full path.

Is there a way to not let it save full path? When I copy and paste the files to the new folder I would like the x-ref's to default to the new location. If I cannot I need to detach several x-ref files and reattach them and rearrange it all again.

Thanks!

Does LT have Reference Manager?

I would use relative path or no path instead of full.

Not sure where to look for reference manager.

If you use the CLASSICXREF command, and use the old xref manager, there is a place to Browse for the file path, then save the new path and voila.

Not sure if that feature is in the new xref manager, lemme go look.

EDIT - of course it does, I just always use the old so I wasn't sure. But I did not realize you were on LT, so I can't promise it's there.

Unless anyone else knows differently on LT, look at Tools Menu>Xref and Block In Place Editing>Open Reference (or similar wording)

Classicxref worked, awesome, thanks!!!

Click Start menu (Windows) > All Programs (Programs) > Autodesk > AutoCAD 20xx > Reference Manager.

No need to even open AutoCAD.

You should review the pros/cons of the different pathing options in AutoCAD help to determine what best suits your needs.

I definitely like it when I do not have to save full path. I never did in MicroStation either and it works well for what I do and how I have things set up.

How can I get it to never save full path unless I ask it to?
