Relative Path Xref's

[Anonymous]

I use the following code to attach an xref. With 2004 you can now have
relative xref paths, is it possible to use a relative path in VBA? If so
how do I do it?

Set insxref = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AttachExternalReference(file, blkname,
inspt, xsc, ysc, zsc, rot, False)

Thanks,
Andrew

Change the Path property after the object is added. 😉

Thanks. I found (should have looked harder before posting) that you can use
the "..\" which means "From the folder of the host drawing, move up one
folder level and follow the specified path" This works in the VBA code for
the value of file variable in the following code"
Set insxref = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AttachExternalReference(file, blkname,
inspt, xsc, ysc, zsc, rot, True)

It did? I thought the filename had to be a FQN. Glad you found out
different. Thanks.
