xref relative path probem

I am having some issues when attempting to set xrefs to a relative path that will function among various computers. Some of the xrefs appear with a simple root directory string such as this:

 

{1B597949-254B-442C-AFDA-DFD5E870546D}.png

 

while others, although in the same xref directory appear with a much more specific path:

 

{F6DD214E-7C58-4710-BD5F-8BED44F4A708}.png

could there be a possible explanation for this disparity among files in the same drawing from the same directory?

Hi,

Understanding the conventions for specifying a relative folder path will help you .. Relative paths are partially specified folder paths that assume the current drive letter or the folder of the host drawing. This is the most flexible option, and enables you to move a set of drawings from your current drive to a different drive that uses the same folder structure.

\

Look in the root folder of the host drawing's drive

path

From the folder of the host drawing, follow the specified path

\path

From the root folder, follow the specified path

.\path

From the folder of the host drawing, follow the specified path

..\path

From the folder of the host drawing, move up one folder level and follow the specified path

..\..\path

From the folder of the host drawing, move up two folder levels and follow the specified path

Your screenshots are from different files, not from the same file, or ?

the screenshots are from two different files in the same drawing and from the same directory

 

I just modified the windows registry per this thread to install DWG Trueview

 

Not sure why these two file would have different relative paths ..
