Does anyone know a tool to detect "Hybrid drawings"?

[Anonymous]

I have some customers with thousands of DWGs, of which at least a couple of thousand are hybrid drawings, i.e. where you have a DWG with an XREF to a TIFF. I need to identify these in a better/faster way than manually opening and checking. We have written a small Java program that just looks for certain patterns in the DWG files, but this is tricky and only works for a handful of DWG versions. Does anyone know of a tool or script that can scan through a directory structure and identify hybrid files?

This question is much better suited in the LISP and Customization forum.

OK, thanks. Posted it there instead.

You can use the DBXscanImg freeware tool - it will report any DWGs containing references to images or PDF underlays. See https://www.cadstudio.cz/en/apps/dbx/
