    Hi,
    How can I find the full name (incl. path) for an XRef if the XRef has a
    relative path? The XRefManager shows me where it found a drawing. How can I
    make sure to find the same drawing? Do I search the ACAD-Search pathes (what
    was the exact order again?)?

    Any hints in VLisp or VBA?

    Thanks

    (findfile xref) will look in the same places that the drawing that loads it
    does when no specific path is stored with the xref. Findfile returns the
    full path and file name.

    HTH,
    Jeff

    Thanks Jeff

    Does findfile look in the same order as acad? If I have 2 or more files that
    could be find, can I be sure findfile finds the same as acad?
