System variable for relative path xref

[Dorian Gray]

Can someone tell me what the system variable is for setting to relative path - I have created a tool bar that sets the layer, overlay ucs to world, but can’t find any info on the variable for relative path.

The code is:

(DEFUN C:XRP() (COMMAND "qsave" "UCS" "World" "-LAYER" "make" "MR_xref" "C" "7" "" "" """xref" "O" "~" "0,0" "1" "1" "0")(princ))

 

I’d like to set it too relative path but can’t find any info on the system variable.

 

Thanks in advance

Please check the functions from this article.

 

Also, please edit your post to add code tags. Thank you!

that helps but somthing is a miss, when I use that coding the realtive path

(Setpathtype 0) = absolute

(Setpathtype 1) = absolute

(Setpathtype 0) = no path

 

(Setpathtype 1) = absolute should be realtive

 

This lisp would be great if the realtive path worked

 

 

Any suggestions

Just tested the said routine in AutoCAD 2010 and all path modes are set correctly. I suggest you to test the routine with different modes and check in Registry if values are saved correctly on your workstation:

 

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Autodesk\\AutoCAD\\R18.0\\ACAD-???\\Profiles\\>\\Dialogs\\XattachDialog"

I'm using autocad 2012 - does this affect anything

 

How do I check if (HKEY_CURRENT_USER) address

One last thing

That works fine if I'm using the dialogue box however if I want to create a function that sets xref path without using a dialogue box how do I go about do that.

If you refer back to the original code (sorry for not placing code tags) this lisp will not allow me to change the relative path because it doesn’t utilise the dialogue box.

Have you any suggestions

Cheers
