Hello,

Is it possible to attach or detach multiple xref with multiple drawings at one time? thank you very much in advance. 🙂

Doing a search on-line like: "autolisp to remove xrefs from multiple drawings"

will give you some helpful links like this one:

adding xref into multiple drawings - AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL - AutoCAD Forums (cadtutor.net)

You can easily modify the script to detach xrefs as well. Of course if it's a nested xref then it won't be detached.

Though Autodesk used to develop ScriptPro to execute scripts on multiple drawings, this is no longer supported starting with Windows 10 64 bit.  But you can always download the free AutoScript:

AutoCAD Script Pro 64 bit - { Cadig AutoScript } - Freeware

Hello Paul,

Thank you very much for your information. There are some app to remove or detach xrefs. The adding xref is only to add the same xref to multiple drawings.  Is there any app to add or remove different xref to/from different drawings at one time? thanks again. 🙂

dotsoft.com ToolPac app seems to contain the mulitple xref attach/detach to multiple drawings you're looking for:

Productivity Tools for AutoCAD, BricsCAD and IntelliCAD - ToolPac Software (dotsoft.com)

I've not used their apps so you'll have to contact them to confirm.
