    Find References on a top level assy? If not, whats the best way to do
    this?

    The best workaround I found so far is, after copying an assembly using
    SW explorer, then copy the drawings with MS explorer into the new
    directory with the assembly open in SW all the drawing references are
    updated.

    I have got a macro that finds alle references of a file. Including
    drawings. If you want to, I will upload the code next week, but it
    might be in a combination of dutch and french, so not very easy to
    understand. But it works fine. The only disadvantage is that you have
    to select a directory that will be searched.

    Kind regards,

    JJ, sounds good. I can translate the dutch/french with a translator.
    How much code is it? By next week, do you mean next Monday?

    LS,

    I uploaded the files to my website. You can find it in the
    software/macros section. Please also check the gallery for a nice
    chopper rendering with nice chrome effects. I'm looking forward to your
    reactions. You can even download the file that I used as environment
    for this rendering.

    Please also check my other macros.


    Kind regards,

    JJ

    The zip file doesnt contain a SW macro file, only VB files. I dont
    have VB installed on my computer, only thru SolidWorks.
