Reference Manager

[ccampbell.lsu]

A "path option" that could be used to easily change multiple xref's paths from full to relative or vice versa. The only way to change from full to relative is to change the path by manually inserting the relative syntax (.\) - this can be labor intensive. Along the same lines of pathing, an option to retain the original path type when repathing multiple xref's. When you have an xref that is originally relative path and then update the xref location, the path automatically switches to full. Retaining the original path type would be ideal. Retain the host version. All of our drawings are saved back down to 2010, but when we apply the changes made in the reference manager, it saves the files to 2013 version because we are using the reference manager associated with AutoCAD 2014.
