This topic subject looks like something I am very interested in. Unfortunately I can't read anything here...

I am looking for a way to specify a path to search for XREFs in the same way that a path to fonts can be specified.

That is, most of my customers use "title blocks" that are an XREF in every drawing. When my program prints the drawing, it can't find the XREF (or MREF?) because the path is specified in AutoCAD - and not saved in the drawing itself.

So, is there a way to add "look over there in folder xxx" when trying to load an XREF?

Thanks,
EdB

According to the AutoCAD documentation, an XREF path in DWG/DXF file can be absolute (e. g. "C:\Drawings\Xref1.dwg") or relative (e. g. "..\Xref1.dwg"). If our component doesn't find the referenced file on the given path, then similar to AutoCAD, this file is searched in the current folder ( a folder where a file with XREFs is located ).
For now we don't offer a tool for indicating a folder where the referenced files are searched.
Probably, your drawing contains XREFs having absolute paths that don't exist. In our opinion, the problem could be solved by copying the referenced files into the drawing's current folder.
If you are not satisfied with such solution we could privately add the required functionality ( for details email to info@cadsofttools.com with reference on this forum topic).

I've sent a request for quote.

Is there another way to do this? Is there any way that I can get the xrefs to look "somewhere else" in code?

Cheers,

English:
We have added ability of defining a search path for missing XRefs. New property is responsible on this task: TsgDXFConverter.XRefSearchPath. When no XRef could be found by its path or in the same folder with file-container, the search will be implemented by the path defined in the TsgDXFConverter.XRefSearchPath.
Downwards goes an example.

Code: Select all

<b>procedure</b> TForm1.btnXRefSearchPathClick(Sender: TObject);
<b>var</b>
  vImg: TsgDXFImage;
  vBlock: TsgDXFBlock;
  I: Integer;
<b>begin</b>
  vImg := TsgDXFImage(sgPaintBox.picture.Graphic);
  vImg.Converter.XRefSearchPath := <font color="blue">'c:\XRefSearchPath\'</font id="blue">;
  <b>for</b> I := <font color="blue">0</font id="blue"> <b>to</b> vImg.Converter.Sections[csBlocks].Count -<font color="blue">1</font id="blue"> <b>do
  begin</b>
    vBlock := TsgDXFBlock(vImg.Converter.Sections[csBlocks].Entities[I]);
    <b>if</b> vBlock.XrefPath <> '' <b>then
    begin</b>
      vBlock.IsLoaded := false;
      vImg.Converter.Loads(vBlock);
    <b>end</b>;
  <b>end</b>;
  vImg.GetExtents;
  sgPaintBox.Invalidate;
