    Exclamation xref repathing

    I am looking for a repathing utility for AutoCAD.

    About 5 years ago, I used to use a program called Xrepath:
    http://www.intelcad.com/pages/xrepath/index.htm

    It was a fantastic tool that ran outside of ACAD and had an unlimited ability to rename and relocate paths (didn’t need a file at the target to repath). Unfortunately this program is no longer in development and I am having a really hard time finding a substitute.


    I need to:
    1) Search a directory for all dwgs
    2) Rename paths for images and xrefs
    3) Run the repathing outside of AutoCAD
    4) Able to process within zip files
    5) Will repath ALL paths regardless of whether target exists or not
    6) Capable of skipping corrupt files

    The Reference Manager that comes with AutoCAD will not work for me primarily due to the fact it will not repath missing files and does not have a search function. Also, I have a very large number of files to process.

    I have looked at Linkfixer, but it does not have a runnable demo, and they want almost $3000 for the program. I’m not about to spend that kind of money on an unknow.

    Also tried Ultra AutoCAD Tool. Simple and I liked it, but it does not process within zip files and crashes with corrupt files.

    Contacted Tool Pac at dotsoft, but I guess they don’t want my business as they have not replied…

    Ok that’s it. Please let me know if any of you have any good solutions.

    See ATP185 Segment 3. Suggests X-Filer & LinkFixerPlus.

    Hmm... xfiler doesnt seem to do what i need. It looks like it helps move files, but I need to repath files AFTER they are moved.

    And LinkFixer will not work because it is almost $3000 and there is no way for me to test it.

    Anyother ideas? Has anyone tried ToolPac? Even though they have blown off my emails, I might still give it a go if someone can tell me it works good.
