XRefs Path Configuration

Customize menu > Configure Paths > Configure Paths dialog > XRefs panel

On the XRefs panel of the Configure Paths dialog, you can add to or modify the directory locations in which the software searches for XRef objects and XRef scenes.

You expand the default locations of XRef files by adding paths to this panel. Use this technique to identify the directories most often used in your scenes.

The software stores the path of any XRef file you load. When the XRef is re-loaded, the search order is as follows:

  1. The path saved with the XRef file.

  2. The directory of the current scene.

  3. The paths listed in the Configure Paths dialog > XRefs panel, starting at the top of the list.
