Changing xref name from outside

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

 

I'd like to know if there is a way to change multiple xref names without opening each drawing.

I know there is a tool called Reference Manager From the Start Menu of your pc. You can change the paths but not the name, so...anyone knows a way to change the xref names (not paths) of 50 drawings without opening, for example?

 

thanks in advance.

Two tips to try:

http://cadtips.cadalyst.com/lisp-code-modules/change-xref-file-names-without-detaching-and-reattachi...

And this tool to go into DWG files itself to do things for you like repathing to new xrefs etc. (it's not free, but there is a trial version you can try)

Hello,

 

I've tried the first tip, and I saw it's a lisp, so you have to open each drawing and modify one-by-one, no?. Finally I did it manually because i did not have time hehe...

 

I´d like to know other similar tool like reference manager i said before that can modify names too, without opening drawings (paths can be modify with that tool without opening, i dont understand why the names not 😞

 

thanks!
