Ted – Well, if the XREF doesn't have a path, then all you need to do is give the name of the referenced drawing to (findfile), and it should return the fully-qualfied path to the file (I think we could rely on the undocumented aspect that (findfile) will search the library path in the same order that AutoCAD does when it looks for the drawing file that you specify in the XREF command). Of course, if the user is aliasing the XREFS in one directory with different versions of the same drawings in another directory, then you might have a problem – but then again, that's the nature of the beast, right? -TonyT.
