I have a network directory for our CAD blocks and a subfolder for references.
D:\CAD\Custom\Blocks
D:\CAD\Custom\Blocks\XREFs
In the XREFs folder I have images and PDFs that end up being references in various blocks, all using relative paths.
(the PDF is in our border file and the images are in a notes block)
When I add the broder block from the palette, the PDF retains its relative path but also has the "Found At" path back to "D:\CAD\Custom\Blocks\XREFs" so teh PDF shows up in my new drawing.
When I do the same with the notes block, the images retain their relative path, but have no "Found At" path and so do not show up.
I know I can embed the images as OLEs and that may be my solution, but I was wondering if there's something different in attached PDFs vs attached images.
