when open up a file

Anonymous — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 13:47:58 GMT

when I open up a CAD file on other people's computer, there are a lot of descriptions including attaching xref, loading xxxx...

While in my computer, opening up a file is quite simple, almost no description.

There must be some settings? but where?

Hi @Anonymous

Have you any xrefs in your drawing?

If you do and the file paths are broken because you have moved the file to another computer or the file paths are not the same from another computer then you will get warnings when opening.

For example if an xref is in the "X" drive on your computer but on another computer they have the same drive as "Y" you will get warning.

If this doesn't help please upload screenshots of all warning.

not warning, just files check descriptions.

Do you just need to expand your commandline to more than one line to see all that loading verbiage? Or turn on DYNMODE?
