![]() ![]() Absolute and relative paths would be problematic when delivered to a client. I always maintain files with unique names, so that different versions don't get overwritten accidentally. What is dangerous, is having multiple files with the same name, placed in different folders. ![]() I don't understand why this would be "dangerous". There is no reference to other disciplines or departments. Then as many as 100 or more individual drawing files exist to reference the common models. The project exists in one folder containing a single model or a couple of model files. I still do not know how to properly deal with this problem.Ĭontrary to what others say, I use "No Path" almost exclusively. Everytime I bring back work to the office from home,Īll the xrefs need to be re-path back to our E drive. One reason I am interested in learning more about how xrefs function is I Use the SUBST command again and enter the following: SUBST E: /dīut just remember to XREF things always from the E: drive at home and notįrom the C: drive and use the exact same folder structure. To remove the E: drive assignment, do the following:Ģ. Now, your drive listing should show the C: drive contents also as the E: Use the SUBST command to replicate the C: drive to match with E: drive Use the following to trick your computer in thinking that your C: drive isĢ. If you only have a C: drive at home and don't have an E: drive, then you can I am particularly curios on No Path and Relative Path. Wrote in message somebody explain the differences between these xref paths?Īlso pls cite some examples when or how to use each of them. But once you put the set ofĭrawings in a different drive letter, AutoCAD will fail to find the As long as you're in the same network structure, AutoCAD will beĪble to find the referenced drawing file. The entire path including the drive letter is included when you reference inĪ drawing. So if you ever have to reference the drawingįrom outside of the folder structure, the references will not be found.Ībsolute path was how AutoCAD originally introduced the use of references. Reference drawings are located based on the location relative to There may be times that it's necessary to use relative path. This is dangerous because the end user really loses control of where exactly So AutoCAD by default will look in the current drawing's folder and then the There's nothing that would tell AutoCAD where the xref drawing is actually ![]() I would never use no path because that means when you attach an xref, ![]()
