Xref Attaching commands

When I open a new DWG, and I want to attach multiple XREFs from the same destination - Path has to be re-found every time manually.

Is there any settings CFG command that can keep the path browsing to last folder taken from?

Hello ofer, 

 

If you fix a broken path and the Xref loads, but the fix does not stick after saving, the issue could be the result of a nested Xref.

 

A nested Xref is a file that is Xrefed into another file, and then that second file is Xrefed into your drawing – an Xref within an Xref. This issue is often the result of Xrefing a file into your drawing as an attachment rather than as an overlay.

 

When an xref is ATTACHED, it will follow that drawing when its xref'd into another drawing.

When an xref is OVERLAY, it will NOT follow that drawing when its xref'd into another drawing.

 

Using overlay will eliminate the possibility of having circular references.

That's not what I mean...
I'm attaching XREFs to a NEW FILE one by one, from the same folder and want the path to remembered from one XREF to another...

 

I just got the answer from a friend - I'm talking about REMEMBERFOLDERS command

 

Thanks anyway...
