[Plugin] Xref Manager v5.0
-
Thanks Jim
its working now
-
So does this work as XREF in autocad that it reduces model size and hence adds to speed cuz the model is referenced and not attached or bound, (inserted) into the mother model?

No. You'll have all of the files inserted into the model. It only keeps track of external file changes and allows up to reload them as you want...

Oh well . ..c'est la vie

Quick basic question --
What is the advantage of the XRef plugin over using the native "Reload" feature on a component?
-
It batch processes any 'xrefs' and it also tells you which ones need reloading etc...
-
Gotcha -- so it's a way to tell me when I load a scene that some items have been modified. Without this, I'd have to know which ones had been changed, and then find them individually in the scene to update.

Thanks for the plugin Tig!

The v6 new Import methods could also mean that in the future importing DWG/DXFs is easier, more reliable and works on Macs - BUT that's NOT in this release - watch this space...
