X-REF Manager Auto Re-load???

[Adam R.]

Hello All,
I'm not sure if I'm finding more ways to be productive or more ways to be lazy. If my boss is reading this then its definitely the first. Here's my problem, I am tired of reloading an xref 50 times a day. Is there a setting that sets the xref to reload automatically after it has been saved? If not I'm open to ideas for a way around this situation.

Thank you,
Adam

I have a button that reloads all xrefs and does a qsave after.

^C^C^C.-xref r * qs

I would like it if the one-click button would reload ONLY the loaded xref's. When I use the above macro, it loads the unloaded xref's.

Thanks Tod, This works great for me. 99% of the time we only use two xrefs in each drawing. Now I just have to turn off the auto alert at the bottom of the screen. This is also just one click instead of four, You just saved me 75% of my xref reload time. Thanks again for your help.

Welcome. Anything to save clicks.

Now we are talking LISP. Could have time to work on that. STILL WAITING to get these drawings to be checked.

Now we are talking LISP.

Try this code.

(defun C:RX	(/ BLOCKS NEXTBLOCK N)  ;; Reload all "loaded" xref's only
                                                                          ;; Richard Lawrence (c) 2005
                                                                          ;; Revised code to include required function
  (defun ASC (ELEMENT ENTITY /) (cdr (assoc ELEMENT ENTITY))) ;;; retrieve assoc data from entity
  (setq BLOCKS NIL)
  (setq NEXTBLOCK (tblnext "BLOCK" t))
  (while (/= NEXTBLOCK NIL)
    (if	(= (logand (ASC 70 NEXTBLOCK) 4) 4)
      (if (= (logand (ASC 70 NEXTBLOCK) 32) 32)
	(if BLOCKS
	  (setq BLOCKS (append BLOCKS (list (ASC 2 NEXTBLOCK))))
	  (setq BLOCKS (list (ASC 2 NEXTBLOCK)))
	)
      )
    )
    (setq NEXTBLOCK (tblnext "BLOCK"))
  )
  (if blocks
    (progn
      (foreach N BLOCKS
	(command "-XREF" "R" N)
      )
      (if (= (length blocks) 1)
	(princ (strcat "\n"(itoa(length blocks))" reference reloaded."))
	(princ (strcat "\n"(itoa(length blocks))" references reloaded."))
      )
    )
    (princ "\nNo xref's found.")
  )
  (princ)
)

This routine will check to see if the xref is currently loaded, if so it will reload it. if it is not loaded, it will not reload it.

I hope this helps.
