xref issues

Anonymous — Tue, 13 Aug 2019 20:25:51 GMT

My computer is xreferencing relative paths with "..\..\..\..\xref\P-1_iso.dwg" unfortunately when using dropbox as a server it makes the xref not found on other computers. If I manually change the path to a "..\xref\P-1_iso.dwg" it will work. My question is there a way to change the settings so that my computer properly xrefs? The other computers do it correctly.

Your AutoCAD is not setup identically to the others in your office: what is different? Something is.

Or you need to go grab someone else's ARG Profile file and use it yourself and see if that fixes the issue.

Ask your IT for help if you cannot tell what is unique about your setup.

Thank you for the input, I have been looking at xref settings but have not found one directly linked to this issue. I will look into this ARG profile since I've never used that before.

Log into your PC as an all new user (your IT will need to get involved) and see if the problem persists.
