AutoCAD .NET :: Code To Detach Xref Of Known File Name / Path
Aug 23, 2012
A part of an application I'm writing involves detaching a specific xref of known filename and path from an open drawing. I'm having a surprising amount of trouble figuring out how to do this or finding any examples "out there" (A'desk forum, the googles, A'desk developer's guide). I have the code for attaching an xref, but detaching is presenting unexpected problems.

I have a drawing that I cannot detach the Xref. It's not making sense.
When I try to detach the Xref I get a message saying
"Xref xxxxx.dwg has multiple references. Not detached"
I've attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing.

"Xref X-H- MECHANICAL ESE1 has multiple references. Not detached."
How to detach this xref correctly?

I cant figure out why detach is not an option for an x-ref I have overlaid on my drg, there are other files attached to the x-ref in question, which I suspect is the issue.

Is there a setting that would cause a xref to detach itself when the drawing is closed? I have an existing model, went through the time to relocate all the attachments.
Once everything is attached I save my work close it out and move to another area, when I open up the model I was working on before with all the attachments that I had located, the xrefs are no longer attached and I must redo all the work that was done previously.

I wanted to detach xrefs that having status File Not found from multiple drawings (fodlers and sub folders) without opening the drawing file.
- I am able to get all the dwg files from folders and subfodlers.
- am able to find the xrefs that are working and the ones that arent
I am not able to detach the xrefs that are having the status FileNotfound. I dont know how to get the objectIds of those xrefs. I tried several ways...
Here is my
[CommandMethod("Dref")]
public void detach_xref()
{
//get the document
Document Doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Editor ed = Doc.Editor;
[Code] .....

Is there a way to make sure whenever I x-ref a file it is not saved as "full path"? I prefer that be the default as I never x-ref outside of the folder I am working in.

How can I update the file path to an XREF which is NESTED? I point the file to the appropriate xref and even though I save the file it won't point back to the file upon opening?

How do I get the full Xref Path name instead of Xref.dwg? I'm scratching my head is this totally under my nose... cause I don't see where the property is stored. I'm getting EV_BDR.dwg instead of C:folderEV_BDR.dwg

I have many drawings that were created with the xref's as full path and I need them to be relative path. I would just go in and reatch them as relative path but the drawings are complete and there are different layers frozen in each one.

I am attaching a File as a xRef. At the time of Attachment, I select attach as attachment, and No Path in Path.
Now if I try to fetch detail of this file using MdiActiveDocument.Database and BlockTableRecord, I gets only file name not the path. However, In AutoCAD we can see the file path under "Found At". Can we read / fetch this using C#.
In case of Full Path or relative Path, I gets full path in btr.PathName
Here is my code and I am using AutoCAD 2013
Database db = acadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database;
using (Transaction Trans = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) {
BlockTable BlkTbl = (BlockTable)Trans.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead,false,true);
db.ResolveXrefs(false, false);

This lsp was passed on to me from a colleague but he doesn't know where he got it. It does a useful procedure of placing each xref, residing in the drawing, to a unique layer. The layer name is derived from the xref name. I would like to edit this to take only part of the xref name. This system I work with requires all files to have the job number as a prefix eg LE1399901_Contours.dwg, so the xref name would be LE1299901_Contours by default. I want to remove the first 10 characters to be left with "X_Xref-Contours" layer name using this code.
(defun dxf (i a) (cdr (assoc i a)))
(defun c:lxr ( / ss cnt xrs en ed bn xp xbn )
(setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT"))))
(setq cnt 0)

We prefer to detach all xrefs when exiting a base file instead of unloading them. Is there a way to have autocad remember which xrefs were used in the base file so that they can be reloaded all at once next time.

I know that in ACAD you can use the xref manager to see where the actual file for the xref resides on your computer/server/etc. What I'm curious about is whether or not the inverse action is possible. Can you somehow access the file (not the output sheet where it's being xref-ed) and see what other files are using it as an xref?
I've come in on a project that is nearing completion and have been assigned the task of "cleaning up the project folder." Unfortunately, there are a ton of files in the different folders that are no longer in use on the final output sheets and I need to keep the ones still in use and archive the ones that are no longer needed. What I've been doing is going through those sheets and reviewing the xref manager for each sheet to see which files are actually put onto those sheets and making a physical checklist from which to organize my findings. Once the checklist is made, I then archive all the files that are no longer being used.

I have a drawing which has a reference to an external drawing in it for the company logo which is used in the title block. We have moved the location of the company logo to a new drive and thus I need to modify the properties of the path.
But when I open up the properties on this it does not allow me to change the path. I found the only way around this was to delete it and start over using the new path .

My computer is not searching for the xrefs correctly. Whenever I switch to another job and try to load an xref, the computer searches under the last job I worked on and nothing else. I have several folders listed as search paths but it just seems to be ignoring them. We never used to have this problem and I cannot figure out what has changed.

Received some drawings with xrefs. Have put xrefs in sub directory called xrefs. Simple.
Opened drawings but cannot brows to select and save new path for xrefs. No brows button exists.
I am using acad LT 2012. So many unnecessary changes for so little benefit. Miss my old square screen also.
How do I update the path in simple terms nice and easy like previous versions of autocad. Storing xrefs in same directory is not an option. Reference manager does not appear to be part of acad LT 2012.
Drawings will not open in previous versions due to autodesk objects so using my trusty acad LT 2007 is also not an option.

Is there a way of showing only the location of the xrefs using a diesel expression (or otherwise)?
At the moment I'm using $(xrefs,5), but all the xrefs are in the same folder, and I only want that folder path shown once.
I.e., even if I have 5 xrefs, I just want one line showing the folder path of those xrefs.

I'm getting a problem regarding getting a document database. I've tested two alternatives:
Alternative1
doc = autoCadApp.DocumentManager.Open(fullpath);
autoCadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument = doc;
doc.LockDocument(DocumentLockMode.Write, null, null, false);
Database db = doc.Database
Alternative2
Database db = new Database(true, false);
db.ReadDwgFile(fullpath, FileShare.ReadWrite, false, string.Empty);
Because what I'm trying to do is modify the xref path of documents, and when i detach the xref and then attach the newer xref, if i access the database from the alternative 1, I don't get any error and the xref is updated correctly. But when I use the alternative number 2, when I attach a newer xref i get and ePermantlyErased exception. Shouldn't that be the same? By the way, I need to open the document silently that is why I'm using alternative number 2.

Using VB .NET we're trying to find the Resolved path of an Xref. We can get the Saved path (which, for us, is only the xref dwg name) but we need to determine where the Xref was "found at" by AutoCAD.

here is the question,basicly, i have a folder named "A", and this folder include 5 DWGs, named 1,2,3,4,5. "1" is the main DWG, so, 2,3,4,5 is attached or overlayed to main file. First step im copying this folder from server, and im pasting to my desktop.Im doing some modifications on xref files, and im uploading "A" folder to my friend's partage from local company server. its allright till here..
my collegue is copying this same folder "A" and opening main file, and main file reading another "3" file from his desktop... this is the problem. file names are same, and it has to be this way. i want to make the main file read from its own folder. we are using 2008, 2012.
