acad2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 For new drawings, is there a way to program Autocad to always load Xrefs relative? We pretty much use xrefs everywhere, and it seems like it would save a lot of time if I didn't have to open the External References and change each xref to relative. Also, if you have an existing drawing and need to change the xref from absolute to relative path, is there a way to have it automatically do that? I'm assuming there isn't, but thought I'd ask.

BlackBox Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 When adding the XREFs to your drawing the user specifies relative path. If you need to revise multiple paths, and/or multiple drawings, consider Reference Manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acad2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Unfortunately AutoCAD LT doesn't allow me to access Reference Manager, as far as I'm aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBox Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Unfortunately AutoCAD LT doesn't allow me to access Reference Manager, as far as I'm aware of. If that is true; most unfortunate, as LT also precludes you from using LISP. Perhaps someone adept at the limitations of LT will know more, as I use verticals (i.e., Land Desktop, Civil 3D, Map 3D, etc.). Good luck!

SLW210 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 AFAIK, Reference Manager should work with LT. What does SDI = ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
