skipsophrenic Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Any News on this LCE? i've been watchin this thread for a while, and was wondering how it's coming along? Hope to hear from you soon Skipso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doove Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Wow, there must be something in the water because I have had a few requests now in the last few days for this app. Aye, larger drawing files, more detail on drawings, 3D - the list is endless and xrefs save a lot of processing, even though they can be a pain. You get this app up and running and I'll let you have my sister's number (or my brother's, or both if you like)... well I would if I had any brothers or sisters... it's the thought that counts. Start a new forum "The X-Ref Men" - corny but cool; should go down a treat with the PR people at Autodesk Uni. Incidentally, where's a good place to start if I want to get into Autolisp etc.? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCE Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 OK, for those of you waiting for an update, as I said previously, real life has taken hold at the moment, so I have had very little time to dedicate to this project. It is very close to a ready for release state, so I will cut back on further developments and will release an interim download shortly with all of the main features, and I will then plan to release a full download at some point in the future with the additional features that will add a little something to it. I am really glad there is still interest in this, so thanks. I will keep you posted. Have a good 1 all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birchw00d Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I am wondering if I can get a copy of this. I have been looking everywhere for a utility that can do this! Any chance I can be added to the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipsophrenic Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 LCE Will you be needing any "Beta-Testers"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepMaster Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 LCE, You're not thinking about adding the "Xref rename & repath" function to this monster are you? If so it would be so AWSOME. http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=23279&page=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCE Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 You're not thinking about adding the "Xref rename & repath" function to this monster are you? If so it would be so AWSOME. Yes, 1 big app to handle pretty much anything that you want with xrefs. A quick run down of the features so far. Search: Select drawings Select directories search by name/path search by keyword search only overlay search only attachment search only dwg/dwf/dgn/images DWG: Repath Rename Unload Reload Detach **Possibly bind** **Possibly explode** (dependant on binding) **Possibly specify xref layer** DWF: Repath Rename Unload Reload Detach DGN: Repath Rename Unload Reload Detach Images: Repath Rename Unload Reload Detach Log file: Save log of search results (including date, time and criteria) Save log of action taken. Settings: Save settings (including File/Directory list, search criteria) If any other feautres are desired, now is the time to request them. As for beta testers, I will probably just upload a beta version here. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepMaster Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 LCE, If you're going to do the binding thing, you might as well add in options to: AUDIT, PURGE ALL, Detach unrefereced and/or unloaded Xref (I have a lisp that will do this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepMaster Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 LCE, Any luck on the app? Happy new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCE Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 LCE,Any luck on the app? Happy new year. Happy new year. Sorry, I posted a thread before christmas that I assumed most people would see, didn't want to go through each possible thread. Here is the thread I posted. Basically, had an ext hard drive blow out which conveniently was the one with all my work on (litterally ALL my work) and I hadn't made a backup for a LONG time so to rewrite this app will take a fair bit of time, especially fitting it in with redoing a load of other work, so releasing it as a freebie just isn't feasible right now. I will keep you posted of any developments though. Sorry again guys.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uddfl Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Does anyone have LCE's program or another way to accomplish this? NBC? I am aware of how to do it using ACAD 2006+, but I'm using an earlier version and it would be nice to have such a tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBC Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'm sure I've got it somewhere; but I'm at work at the moment (I changed jobs recently) and don't have it with me at the moment. I shall look around when I get home later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBC Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 I don't appear to have it anymore, I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uddfl Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I don't appear to have it anymore, I'm afraid Oh well, thanks for looking anyway. Does anyone else know of a solution? I assume there is probably a way to do it on VBA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhweiss Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi, I was also seeking help for this whole xref situation but it appears I am a year too late! Any suggestions? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
