attach xref script

Hello all,

i`ve made a script that makes a layer "XREF" and make it current. And set the layout to modelspace. Aftert that i want to attach a XREF. This xref drawingfile is in a subfolder of the main drawing. Because the file name of the xref is always different so i used a * (asterik) as filename. So this is not working. There is always just one Xref file in the subfolder.

See script:

-LAYER

MAKE

XREF

LAYOUT

SET

MODEL

-XREF

ATTACH

.\XREF\*.DWG

0,0,0

1

1

0

Is there a way to get this working, script or lisp? Problem is the * as filename.

Thanks,

Not sure about the whole script but perhaps instead of just a * you can try at least a partial name that hopefully is common.

if you use lisp you can use the findfile function to look in the current dwg directory and load any other dwg's there. A script will need an actual name. Another way is you can do lisp in a script so if you know name you can type it and then use (command "Attach" filename)

Alternatively, and if you don't mind paying $10, Consider this application. It will process your XREFs without opening any drawings.
