All in one folder?

[DC-MWA]

Hi gurus,

I am looking to perform a certain task with xrefs and I'm hoping someone out there has already written a lisp to do it or something similar.

We get drawings from consultants and the xrefs are spread throughout many folders.

I would like to save the main drawing into a new folder and then have program to:

Find all xrefs in current drawing,

Copy all referenced drawing files into the current drawing folder (dwgprefix),

Remove paths from the xrefs in current drawing.

Then all the drawings and the xrefs would be in one folder and the paths would be removed.

I have a version that i can do one xref at a time by picking the xref, but ultimately I would like to process many drawings quickly.

I have attached the "bypick" version of this so you can clearly understand what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks in advance for any assistance received.

Perhaps you should request your consultants to give you drawings including xrefs all saved in the same folder.

Then you can run Reference Manager which is an external Autodesk program that is installed with AutoCAD in the same program group and strip the prefix out of all the reference drawings.

I've figured out a way to do it with etransmit and some scripting.

Thanks!
