The Reference Manager.
2. Click the Add Drawings button to add one or more DWG files to the Drawings
pane on the left.
Navigate to the folder that contains the drawings you want to send, select them,
and click Open.
3. In the Reference Manager - Add Xrefs dialog box, choose Add All Xrefs Automat-
ically Regardless of Nesting Level.
The Reference Manager processes the drawings and displays all referenced objects
in its right pane.
4. Click Export Report to create a text report listing all the dependent files and
their paths, or click Edit Selected Paths to modify paths of selected reference files.
5. If you do choose to modify any selected paths, click Apply Changes.
When you're finished exporting reports and repathing reference files (or just check-
ing out this program you may never suspected you had), close the Reference Man-
ager window. Click the Help button in Reference Manager to find out more about the
utility's capabilities.
If you always keep parent and child DWG files in the same folder — the
simplest approach to dealing with xref paths — you probably won't need to use
the Reference Manager.
