Check the External References Manager in that file. More about nested Xrefs and the Attachment setting >ĢB. This issue is often the result of Xrefing a file into your drawing as an attachment rather than as an overlay.
If you fix a broken path and the Xref loads, but the fix does not stick after saving, the issue could be the result of a nested Xref.Ī nested Xref is a file that is Xrefed into another file, and then that second file is Xrefed into your drawing – an Xref within an Xref.

Then check the Saved Path against the path to the Xref file in Windows Explorer again to ensure they match.ġH. Verify that the Xref shows up as Loaded in the Status column. Change the Xref path to the correct path.ġG. Have your IT administrator verify that both computers are accessing shared folders using the exact same mapped letter drive path.ġF.
For example, it may contain a hyphen or underscore instead of a space.ġE. The mapped letter drive might be different (as in our example), or one folder in the path might be named slightly differently. If this issue happens often, it's usually a case where two computers accessing the same project files are looking at a location differently. In the example below, the path in the External References Manager is pointing to a different letter drive ( X:) from the letter drive in the Windows Explorer path. Now check the Saved Path that's listed for the Xref in the External References Manager, and compare it with the path to the same file in Windows Explorer.Ĭheck every part of this path to verify that it's an exact match with the path to the file. 1C. Once you're sure you have a good connection to the location of the Xref, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder where that file is stored (example: L: My Drive/CAD Drawings).ġD.
