adding xref into multiple drawings

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....

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.

This is true but all our xrefs are overlaid and not attached thus any other nested xref would not show.

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.
