XREF Destination File Summary

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am seeking advice for the following, and any help would be gratefully appreciated.

I would like to extract a list of the DWGs that a specific Drawing ( XREF) is referenced into. Whilst controlling document changes on a large project, I wish to summarise what layouts are affected by the changing of each XREF.

I cannot determine a method to do this, so imagine a lisp routine may be the solution, however I am open to suggestions. Thank you.

Regards,

[3wood]

Do it in Reference Manager, not in AutoCAD.

I have explored this previously. As far as I can see this can only display drawings referenced into a DWG, as opposed to what DWG they are referenced into.

Thankyou for the prompt reply none the less.

There is a step by step process on how to do this, described here.

Thank you.

The solution answers my query. Your help is appreciated.

An add-on or script that shows a live matrix of referenced files would be useful in the future.

One for Autodesk.

Thanks again.

Can the results be exported as an Excel Spreadsheet?
