    How can I change overlays to attachments?

    The easiest way is to simply double-click overlay in the xref manager dialog
    box.

    Is it really worth writing a program to do that?? Suppose it depends on how
    many drawings you have to do this to.

    I have over 100 drawings that I get from various sources that I have to do
    this for.

    In that case, you may want to poke around in that "other" customization NG.
    It can't be done with straight VBA.

    I think Frank or Tony (someone) has an ARX vbXtender (or was it
    vbExtender??) that will allow you to mix-and-match VBA and LSP to accomplish
    something like this that you can't do with VBA.

    I don't see why not. Loop through the Bolcks colection, cheching for .IsXref
    = true. If it is, get the filename, Detach it, and reattach it as an
    attachment.
