SetXRefPath

$image\bltlrgss.gif$ Editions $image\bltlrgss.gif$ Related Transactions $image\bltlrgss.gif$ Example

The SetXRefPath transaction sets the path, for the specified file format, where Imagenation searches for external reference files. The vector file formats CADRA, DGN, and DWG/DXF and the text file format RTF allow external references to other files of those types. You can assign a search path to each file format.

Type XTYP_EXECUTE

Syntax [SetXRefPath(formatID, "searchPath")]

Parameter	Data type	Values	Meaning
formatID	WORD	0	all valid formats
		502	DWG/DXF. See Remarks.
		508	DGN
		526	CADRA
		704	RTF
searchPath	string	list of directories separated by semicolons, up to 1024 characters	directories in which to search for external references

Remarks

All DWG and DXF formats point to the same directory paths. To define these paths, you could use the formatID of any DWG or DXF format. In the table, the value 502 (DXF ASCII) was used for simplicity.
