XREF

[Anonymous]

My 2005 AutoCAD crashed and since Autodesk does not support it any more, I had to buy a new computer with Windows 10 and download AutoCAD LT 2020.  I then copied all my drawing files to new computer.  But none of the XRefs work now and I cannot figure out how to reload same in 2020.

Can you be more explicit?

1. Don't know which drawings are xref'd in the old drawings?

2. Can't open the old files?

3. Don't know how to xref in the new version?

Not really sure what the question is.

Are you having trouble repathing them with the XREF manager?

You changed folder or drive locations, that's why all of your Xrefs broke.

You can fix them with the external REFERENCE MANAGER tool that installs with AutoCAD2020 if you installed it, here is how to use it https://thesourcecad.com/reference-manager-the-most-underutilized-tool-in-autocad/
