Relative Path Xref's

I use the following code to attach an xref. With 2004 you can now have
relative xref paths, is it possible to use a relative path in VBA? If so
how do I do it?

Set insxref = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AttachExternalReference(file, blkname,
inspt, xsc, ysc, zsc, rot, False)

Thanks,
Andrew

 

Change the Path property after the object is added. ;-)

It did? I thought the filename had to be a FQN. Glad you found out
different. Thanks.

| Thanks. I found (should have looked harder before posting) that you can
use
| the "..\" which means "From the folder of the host drawing, move up one

for

| Set insxref = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AttachExternalReference(file,
blkname,
