You can also save a PROJECTNAME in each host file that points to a specific list of paths in which to look for Xrefs (for that host file). this is a simple way to make sure reference files will always be found when you open host drawings.when you place all Xref drawings in the same folder as the host drawings it is easier to move all files to new folders later on.one approach is to store all Xref drawing files in the same folder as the host drawings that reference them.If Retain Path is unchecked AutoCAD will systematically look for Xref files in appropriate locations when you Open the host. or you may want to move completed project files to a special archive location at the end of a project.for example, drive letters can change in a network environment when you re-map your network.Paths can change for minor administrative reasons and it may be impractical to retain paths if you expect them to change later on. if your folder structure (names & locations) will never change you may want to retain all Xref paths.if Retain Path is checked AutoCAD retains the complete path of the Xref & looks in this location each time it loads the Xref file.Not about to start troubleshooting a brand new problem but maybe I'll come back around to data shortcuts another time.You have the option of selecting Retain Path when you attach a new Xref to the current drawing. Just to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong I started a fresh C3D file and added the data shortcut. It appears in the prospector tab and can be selected with QSELECT.but doesn't actually show up in the drawing. But I'll give data shortcuts a shot and report back.ĮDIT: Opened my "ACAD" based file in C3D and tried to insert a data shortcut to the alignment I need. Might test it out tomorrow.Īt this point after more testing / feedback from comments I'm pretty sure its an issue that can only be resolved by making the DWGUNITS the same for both files. That said.I havent yet tried opening that ACAD file in C3D to get a Data Shortcut in there. Normally I work in ACAD and only use C3D to set up plan views and alignments. Looked into it a bit and, while cool, don't think it will help me.
