Relative searchpath in v 3.1
What became of the support for relative searchpath in v. 3.1? All my external refferences with relative searchpath now lists "not found". It worked OK in v. 2.2.Can we add this to the bugglist of v. 3.1 ?

I cant believe that there are no answers to this subject. Has anyone experienced the same or is it just my installation that went wrong ?

You are right the former Bricnet version had support for relative xref paths. This was/is unique to the Bricsnet release - the other distributions did not support this. On the other hand, the earlier Bricsnet release did not support "Absolute" xref paths, which the other releases support. This is a good alternative in a networked environment. Relative path handling is a must have in my opinion, essential if you are in any way interacting with other companies. This is very high on my wish list.I suggest you get a tool called xrepath from http://www.caddepot.com/dcd/Autodesk/XREF/You can manage your local area network using absolute xref paths (e.g. \server\c\project\plans\plan1.dwg). For distribution to other companies, use xrepath to change all xrefs to relative (using a copy of the drawings of course)
