2010 loosing Xrefs?

[Anonymous]

I have a client that claims that in AutoCAD Architecture 2010 that if they
use relative or softpaths that AutoCAD will loose the Xref
They claim it will disappear? Of course I have yet to see the behavior
first hand but want to know if there is a know issue
They are very aware of the differences between hard paths and relative
paths.
Is there an issue?

David,
Would it be possible for you to visit your client so that they could 'show
you' what is going on?
Perhaps you'd be able to tell what they are doing, in case it is user error.
(I am not using ACA2010 currently, but I haven't noticed any threads to this
effect in any of the other discussion groups.)

Just some thoughts, fwtw,
David Kozina

Of course I said to call me when the behavior happens again
They had everything working properly in ACA 2008 and when they upgraded to
2010 their xrefs started disappearing and so they went to hard (full) paths

That is very unusual: did they do more than just upgrade ACA? something
moved (drives or servers) from one letter to another based on your posts.

REFERENCE MANAGER is an external program installed with AutoCAD that can fix
Xref pathing without having to open each file and edit manually.

Yes Dean I and the customer understand that
Like I said I was just asking if there was a know issue with 2010 because I
have not used it in production
