    Angry Changing Xref names

    1st question: Is there a way to change several xref names with the Ref. Manager?

    2nd question: When use the Ref. Manager to try to redirect the xrefs it will not let me enter the folder I want it to go in.

    Here is what happened. I copy that folder with dwgs in to to another folder. I changed the xref names for that xref. Since I changed the name of the xrefs it becomes not found in the dwgs that it is attached to. So I am trying to use the Ref. Manager to redirect the Xrefs from the same folder. It is not letting me do that.


    Thank you,

    Brad

    1st, not sure, but, I don't think so...

    2nd, was just doing that this morning and didn't seem to have any problems...
    selected all of the files, right click, then, either browsed to the folder, or copy/pasted in the path from windows explorer.
    attaching a screen shot so you can tell me if I'm trying to do the same thing you are.

    please inform if I'm undestanding...

    If I would copy the path and past it in to redirect it, will that work?
