Xref problem when copying to other PC

Anonymous — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 23:49:04 GMT

I have drawings with several xrefs, when I copy them to another PC, drawings can not find their Xref path. How can I copy the file so that i do not need to reset the xref path?

By setting up the same file paths and file locations in the destination computer as the files are in on the source computer?

solution: when you copy the the dwg file from one pc to other pc, copy also the files that was inserted with xref, in the same folder, then just enter command xref/ select all files and reload.

Bonjour @Anonymous

If you use the command ETRANSMIT the zip file will contain all the xref in the same file

It is the most powerfull command to save worflows with XREF
