Our company is in the process of re-organizing our server structure (yeah... ughh....). One of the items on the table is adjusting the root directory our drawing files resides in. One of the issues we are leery of is the number of drawings (literally thousands) that contain xref paths of "h:\landprojects\blah\blah\blah" which would need to be changed to "q:\projects\blah\blah\blah", for example.
Is there a batch program or script out there that can change a portion of the root of an x-ref path (i know relative pathing for the past however many years would have helped avoid this issue, but that ship sailed too long ago) on an entire directory worth of drawings without having to individually open drawings?
Thanks in advance for your help.
