Import XML Path

Import XML Path

I have a surface that began with importing an XML file that had a surface in it. The first operation in the surface definition is "Import XML File" and then it has the path to the XML file under "Parameters". I would like to move the XML file and the drawing file to a new location, thus a new path. If I rebuild the snapshot and the surface, it won't find the XML because I moved it. I am pretty sure there isn't a way to update this path "out of the box", but does anyone have a way to change that path? I suppose it is coded somewhere into the drawing itself. I suppose there is someway to access the surface and edit this via VBA, but I don't know how.

I was working with my drawing on my local drive with the XML file on my local drive. Now when I move the drawing to our server, it won't find the XML if someone else opens the drawing. This is fine, I think, as I don't plan on updating the XML file, so I won't really need to have it around. My surface still stays intact if it can't find the XML, right? It just will never be possible to rebuild the snapshot, right? Does anyone see any problems with this?

Right-click on the ... to the right of the file name listing in the Build
Operations list, and you should be able to get a browse window.

Perfect James - thanks. It looks like you could also single click on the path and just type in or paste in a new path.

Any relative path to store the XML file like Xref path that could be related the DWG file.
