Have you tried using Project Paths? I have a program that helps setup and
maintain project paths, but I never got much feedback on it, and my workflow
seldom required me to move files to really test it fully.
I think it is possible to repath the definitions in VBA, but I am not sure
how. A friend of mine started writing a program to do this a year or so
ago, and asked me to help. It was over my head with all the cycling that
was necessary to work up the assembly tree in the right order and all. I
wasn't much help, and shortly after that his company switched cad programs
so ???
I also know some people tried out this, but I have no knowledge of how it
works

Good luck.

> I have a problem whenver I need to move assemblies around on our server
drives. Each external reference path needs to be changed to reflect the new
location for each component. This is very tedious. I have tried manipulating
the ExternalPath property of the McadComponentDefinition object, however it
appears to be read-only. Is ther a way to programmatically change the
external reference path for a component definition?
