Change path mode in "external references"

[ehsantavassolian]

Hello friends
How can I 
Change a photo "Change path mode"  from (make relative) to (make absolute) in "external references" toolbar
by autolisp in autocad 2021

[elyosua]

Read and try this lisp file.

Change the path type of all xrefs to full.
To change only one external reference, replace the character "*" with "external reference name".

(command "._-xref" "PathType" "*" "Full")

Although why would you want to do this? Relative paths are much more flexible ( ie what if you change your drive from E to F )

Thank you very much for your help

 

Because when (make relative) is active, and I use the command (vla-get-imagefile img), the answer is not complete

Maybe this? 

(if (setq p (findfile (vla-get-imagefile vla-object)))
  (vla-put-imagefile vla-object p)
)

Yes, that's exactly it

I did not see this problem in AutoCAD 2012 to 2018 

Unfortunately, AutoCAD 2021 performs poorly on these commands
