AutoCad :: Relative Path For References?
Mar 2, 2012
Whenever I use "attachimage" within a drawing, I specify relative path. I would assume that if I open the file on another computer, AutoCAD would be able to find the image as long as it is in the same folder as the DWG file. This is never the case. I always get an error message stating that the reference is missing and it asks if I want to update its location. What good is specifying a relative path then? I'm using AutoCAD 2010.

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.

Is there a way to change an xref from saved "full path" to "relative path"?

I have found a way to convert FULL to RELATIVE using XRP2004.lsp but not the other way round. Main reason I want to do this is to change the Relative to Full, move the drawing and then revert them back to Relative.

I am trying to write a standard scrpit file for a data extraction using -EATTEXT. I plan for others to use this script file on different computers, so I will not be able to put in a full file path; it will need to remain relative. Unfortunately, AutoCAD will not recognize a relative file path entered into the command line for -EATTEXT.

I am using autocad 2011. I am trying to attach a drawing as a xreg with a relative path. It keeps giving me relative path can not be assigned. I have tried saving the dwg. I have even started a new drawing and tried again but it keeps giving me the same error. All my drawing are in the same folder on a network drive. Another employee can open the drawing file from his computer and attach the same file fine. when He does it I can see the relative path. Is there a setting that I am missing?

I am looking for a way to make xref/image path relative by default. I have not found a solution for that.

I'm trying to specify the image source for ribbon images using relative syntax but having no luck.
If I use this:
button.LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"c:\folderA\folderB\image.png") );
it works just fine. But it relies on absolute syntax, which is daft since it forces the code to be installed in a specific directory (or the images).
I've tried
button.LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"images\image.png", UriKind.Relative) );
and
button.LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"images/image.png", UriKind.Relative) );
and I've tried placing the images subdirectory with the png file relative to the assembly, to the project source folder and even relative to AutoCAD itself - and in none of the cases do I get an image. I'd like the images subfolder to be relative to the compiled assembly.

I wanted to attach an image as Xref to my drawing. I like to set my Xref's relative but in this occasion I get the error "Relative path cannot be assigned".
My version of AutoCAD is 2011 btw.

Problem with lost Xref path when attaching a file using relative pathing? We are using Autocad 2010 and Windows 7. If we attach the same file using Windows XP the problem does not happen.

I have a lot of drawings that someone inserted the Xref's, but the Xref's are "Attached, and Full Path"; however, I need to change them to "Overlay, and Relative Path".

Periodically, when I try to create an XREF using the Relative Path option, C3D will tell me that it can't use the relative path. But if I then close the drawing and reopen it, the command works just fine. why C3D sometimes fails to do this, or why closing and reopening the drawing fixes the problem.
Never saw this problem before C3D 2012.

I have set up a master set of dwg. files we use to create our construction documents. The files consist of a master file that xrefs base files. All of our files are named using the project # first. (i.e. 2011001c.dwg). I have set up the master set using x's to replace the numbers.
Here is how it works:
XXXXXXXc.dwg (master file) relative path xref's the following files.
XXXXXXXlw.dwg
XXXXXXXvlw.dwg
XXXXXXXeg
XXXXXXXfg
XXXXXXXtitleblock
note: all of these files are saved in the same folder.
I am trying to find a way to keep the xref paths working when I copy the files to a project folder and rename the files using the actual job # insead of the x's as place holders. As it is now, when I change the drawing name the reference is lost and I have to manually change all of the xref paths in the xref manager. Is there a command, program, or lisp routine than can change the file names and update the paths automatically.

Any variables that would cause my XREF paths to change from Full Path to Relative Path when I save a drawing?
This is something that just started happening recently and has me completely at a loss. I haven't installed any patches or hot fixes recently and nothing else has changed that I'm aware of.

I can't seem to get my droplet working here... using CS3 on PC. Seems like I always hit this problem and have to solve it differently each time.
Anyway, dead simple goal: Create a droplet that converts any file to a JPEG and saves it back to the original file's directory.
if I drag a .gif file from my desktop on to the droplet, it should save a .jpg file with the same name to my desktop. If I drag a file named "testfile.gif" from a folder named "Test", it should create a file named "testfile.jpg" to the "Test" folder. etc, etc.
I have recorded an Action that has a single event: Export. I created that event by using the "Save for Web & Devices" function. The event includes the various JPEG formatting info AS WELL AS a save destination ("In: C:Documents...")
I have tried to create my droplet every which way - specifically:
1) With "Save and Close" selected and "Override Action "Save As" Commands" unchecked
2) With "Save and Close" selected and "Override Action "Save As" Commands" checked
I have also deleted the droplet .exe file before changing this setting (so as to get a "fresh" version).
Nothing works. My .gif files ALWAYS end up in the directory specified in the Action.

I have linked files in a realtive path /sheets/ in my adboe ai file. We are generating 10,000's of images and placing them in the /sheets/ folder. The naming scheme is the same.
However when I share this project with a friend over dropbox. ai + /sheets/ folder. When he opens it up he's getting a ton of errors about the files not being found.
Does illustrator ignore linked file locations if the path isn't ABOSULUTE? Or if the newly generated images are overwritting the previous ones?
How can I fix this because we are looking at 10,000's of large image reaplcments that will take DAYS of mannual labor?

How do I set a folder as a relative path to where the script is running?
is there any easy way like in unix, starting without / ?or for example
"~/Desktop/"
"/users/<login>/desktop/"
seems that path to me is the only way...
is there an easy way to change posix paths to applescript??
I have this code:
tell application "Finder" to set templateFile to (container of (path to me) as string) & "Graficas FINAL ADQAT.ai"
with this error: error "No se ha encontrado el archivo Macintosh HD:Users:Vibra:Desktop:Graficas FINAL ADQAT.ai." number -43 from "Macintosh HD:Users:Vibra:Desktop:Graficas FINAL ADQAT.ai"
the file is there how I change the filepath to be compatible with applescript?

I now want to delete the jpg file from the folder but it's being referenced in several drawings, and I don't know which ones. Is there a way to reverse the function of Reference Manager (perhaps with a different app), ie find all the drawing files that reference my jpg file

I needed to use an xref so loaded up the external references box to view all available xrefs. Since i did this i cant get rid of the xref box. Its there whenever i load cad up, load a new drawing and when switching clean screen on and off. Ive tried the close button in the top corner but it still returns.

I want to load the external references in the drawing, how to implement this program?
I returned to the drawing path and the way I want to load it using the insertion point.The code error is probably somewhere not understand where.

I have a recurring problem that I can't seem to figure out. I have my existing grade TIN surface as a data shortcut into my roadway design file, but it sometimes will not update when opening the drawing. The surface profile will not display until the surface is manually synced. Any labels that are associated with that surface (or other object) will just display the ??? because it can't seem to connect to the data. After a manual sync it seems to come back.

I was able to take the attributes from block references in independent .dwg files and and bring them across to a new drawing via import. At this point, there are a few attributes that I would like to be able to add to each block reference once it's created. I've designed a GUI where users can input data, and this input (string data) I'd like to add to the block reference as a tag and a corresponding value.
The basics I understand are to create an attribute reference object. Set the properties / parameters for this object (tag and value (originally as a string) and them append the attribute to the block reference. What i don't know how to do is to actually create the new tags and values in the code so that they can later be appended. I'm in C# and so far i've got this:
foreach (ObjectId id in blockBtr)
{
if (id.ObjectClass == RXClass.GetClass(typeof(AttributeDefinition)))
{

I have recently configured various borders for our Inventor software and have now turned to AutoCAD to do the same.
Within Inventor you can specify grid references around the border. eg A-F along the top and 1-5 on the vertical. Can this be done with AutoCAD 2011????

ACA2011.I've got a construct that for some reason has 2 xrefs listed within it that I can't detach. It says that it is unresolved and when I try to detach it it says "c_Floor Plan - First" has multiple references, Not detached." This is one of two xrefs in the drawing doing this...how is it possible to have an xref of the same name in the drawing? I can't figure out how to detach it. It was causing problems in the view to which it was referenced, and I solved it by creating a bogus, blank construct called "test" and changed the path of the xref in the construct to this drawing...but I still can't detach it.

Possible to open a drawing that was created with AutoCad Civil3D 2011 and create all of your Civil objects and data references if it is a bad idea to then open it at a later date in AutoCad Civil as Autocad 2011. Does this effect any of the data in the drawing. It has been recommended here that we do this for making minor line/text edits as some folks have slower computers that cant handle the civil side of the program.
why we are constantly facing corrupt drawing files that lose references.

Is there a procedure or command to use on an opened drawing to see if the drawing is used as an external reference anywhere else? For example, can I open Drawing A and determine whether it is used as an external reference in Drawing B without going to Drawing B and looking at the external references palette?

So we are wanting to send on a model to a customer. I have used pack and go with the following settings:
Copy to Single Path
Model Files Only
When I try and open the newly created files, it gives a bunch of error messages looking for FEA files, as well as missing some OLE links, which is good as I don't want to send on any FEA information with the model, but is there a way to strip that out completely from the model without having to go through each individual file and deleting all of the simulations?
