Changing directories for x-refs

    Gday all,
    Often I receive a set of drawings from an architect which are x-reffed all
    over the place. This is a real pain as my civils are typically tied to the
    survey, which is in real world co-ods, while the architect will have several
    drawings at different rotations and co-ords. The base drawings I then use
    from the architects have a number of x-refs at varying inserts & rotations,
    and different paths to the files.
    When I try to change the saved path and reload, I'm still left with the file
    description on screem, and the x-refs still showing the original path in the
    Xref Manager. Is there a way to do this without manually getting the insert
    & rotation values and entering them?
    I'm using Autocad 2000 on WinXP Home.
    cheers

    I have the same problem. I end having to rescale, and re-rotate.

    yes, just bind the XREFS


    XREF ---> BIND ----> as an INSERT

    it wont ask for the rotation and scale.....it will just place it as a block
    as you see it.
