Syntax [GetXRefPath(formatID)]

Parameter	Data type	Values	Meaning
formatID	DWORD	0	default path. See Remarks.
		502	DWG/DXF. See Remarks.
		508	DGN
		526	CADRA
		704	RTF

Remarks

Try the path for the specific format first. If that fails, use the default value (0).

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