ZenCad1960 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Good Morning All: Does anyone know of either a program, a script, VBA, or lisp that will xref a drawing into multiple drawings without having to open each drawing up then xref in the missing xref? Typically the set up will be as follows: Drawings needing the xref is located in one folder the drawing to be xref'd in is located in a central xref folder. Thanks everyone for your help on this one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylo23 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Couldnt you just xref in the missing drawing into a one of the xrefs that are already loaded into said drawing? I guess this might only work if all the drawings that need the missing xref have a common drawing between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true but all our xrefs are overlaid and not attached thus any other nested xref would not show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepMaster Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 You could use scriptpro and run a script that inserts the xref to all the drawings. I do this all the time to insert a stamp xref dwg. Here's an example for my stamp script. You can take out the layer command stuff and image frame stuff to suit your needs. -LAYER N E-XREF-SEALS S E-XREF-SEALS -XREF O "C:\building\E-STAMP.dwg" 0,0 1 1 0 _imageframe off QSAVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
