nativedog Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I am working in AutoCad MEP 2013 and have some drawings where I have xref'd in a tif file for a background. When I initially open the drawing the tif has to be reloaded. If I do this right away after opening the drwing it says it cant be found. If I wait let's say 5-10 minutes and go back and try again then it will load. the tif is set to relative path. It's like the computer is taking a long time to find the file. This is not happening with every drawing in which I have an xref attached to a drawing. Sometimes all the background load immediately and sometimes they behave like this. Thoughts anyone?

pendean Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Why must you reload it when you open the drawing file each time? That's the problem you need to fix.Based on your very light post, your relative path is not correct and needs to be redefined or you must go with full path.
