ajennings323 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 How do I upload a file that is bigger than 1000kb to the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 After you open the drawing, press to access the dialog screen and check if there were issued some warnings regarding the status of your x-ref's. This may help you to locate the issue(s) - usually is path related. Regarding the attachement, there is an up-load limit; may try to ZIP the drawing. However this may not decrease much the size since newer DWG formats were already compressed. And not last, welcome to the Forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajennings323 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks for the welcome, it says Xref drawing cannot be found. I have just received this file, and need to open it with the Xref floor plan included in the drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Did they only send 1 dwg a xref means you must have multiple dwg's images etc. If they did put xref in same directory as the master dwg and it should work then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSasu Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Please note down the name of the said missing drawing and check if it was included in what you received. If you have it, then call XREF command and adjust here its path. If is missing, then contact them to send it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Is this the message you are seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajennings323 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yes, that is the message I am seeing! but the number of missing reference file is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 That was an example which means it wasn't meant to be specific to your problem. Basically the message means the file location on your computer is not the same as it is on the sender's computer. File location=path.

ajennings323 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Apologies. So do I need to get sender to resend it... Or is there anything I can do manually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yes, that is the message I am seeing! but the number of missing reference file is 1 That is probably due to the fact that you received 2 out of the 3 required x-ref's. Or two were attached with relative path, while one with absolute. ReMark however found 3 missing since you didn't uploaded here any of them.

ReMark Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 MSasu: That message referencing three missing files was just an example. I did not open the OP's drawing. aj: Try changing the path to the file in the File Reference Manager where it says Saved path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajennings323 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 What file do I want to change the path to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Logically one would change the path of the file that is missing. Makes sense doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajennings323 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm sorry you've lost me, I am in no way AutoCAD literate. The saved path is already showing as the file that is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It has nothing to do with your knowledge of AutoCAD per se. It has everything to do with where AutoCAD expects to find the file (i.e. - the file's location). According to the drawing sent you the path to the file was probably on a server on the sender's end. The path to the file on your hard drive does not match that. You either change the path to the physically location on your server/hard drive OR you replicate the path of the original file. If it is a case that the sender did not include the missing file then that is a whole different story. Pick up the phone or email the sender and ask him/her to send you a copy of the DWG pronto.

Cad64 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I've moved this thread to the Autocad General section. Not sure why it was posted in the 3ds Max Modeling section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
