Is there a way of detaching all unreferenced x-refs (jpegs, dwgs etc) from a drawing before opening?
I have various drawings that will hang for a period of time before opening or just won’t open at all. When I do get them open they always seem to have unreferenced x-refs that when I detach the X-refs, save the drawing and reopen it there is no delay.
I have AutoCAD 2008 (Full version) with a decent spec PC and I don’t have as big a problem opening the drawings although I do experience some delay. The problem mainly arises when the drawings are opened in LT on various other PC’s around the office. I have tried using the partial open option but this doesn’t always open to give me the option to detach x-refs. Does anyone have or know of a LISP routine that I can run on CAD (Full version) that will detach unreferenced x-refs before opening to overcome this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
