xref info without open drawing

[Anonymous]

hello
it is possible, to get xref information from a drawing (paths of xref) WITHOUT open the drawing.

at present i open drawings get the required date and than close the drawing with a for - next loop. open / close need many times and resources.

also, how can i change the xref path with vba?

to change the path to an Xref you need to access a blockreference and change the path property

--- to find the blockreference
let blockname be the name of you xref

For Each Obj In ThisDrawing.ModelSpace
If Obj.ObjectName = "AcDbBlockReference" Then
If LCase(Obj.Name) = LCase(blockname) Then
Set BlockRef = obj
exit for
end if
end if
next

''' then you can change the path
BlockRef.Path = newPath
