JamCAD Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Have a look at the etransmit command. Their is an option to maintain the folder structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamCAD Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You don't have to run etransmit on every individual file. Instead open one drawing start the etransmit command and add all your drawings first before running. Alternatively as long as all your xrefs use relative path you should be able to copy from one pc to another. However this is much less reliable.

JamCAD Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Presumably you are upgrading your pc. In which case you can use backup software to copy all your files to the new pc using the very same folder structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaj Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hi As an alternative, try using the Reference Manager utility found in the AutoCAD folder. Shows all file dependencies and provides a means to bulk change XRef paths... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 copy all your files to the new pc using the very same folder structure. This is the most reliable method. Relative pathing could work as long as the project directory structure remains the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
