Rename xref list

Anonymous
Not applicable

I've had a look and I can't find a way to make this work. When you attach an xref it makes the reference name the same name as the file. Okay, that is fine but when you update the xref path it doesn't also update the reference name. I am using the reference name to generate a list of xrefs included in the drawing but the information doesnt update if you change an xref path. So how can I get the reference name to automatically update when the path is changed?

Hi HaleOED,

 

not automatically, but perhaps updating the xref name, prior to generate a list of xrefs...

Wow! Thank you so much! That pretty much does exactly what I need 🙂 I find it odd that autocad doesn't do it automatically though 😕 Thanks again!
