I personally use relative path for my xref's. Normally all the drawing folders are under one job directory.
Those that xref across different jobs cause an issue. My thinking is that, the sub-folder structure
will remain the same once the project it archived.

In the case of Cadaver where they consolidate folder structure, then etransmit is a good tool.
Reference manager is also a good tool that will let you repath and turn a hard path into a relative
path. I use to use Reference manager a lot and wrote up a little "how to" to help my users at the time.
If you'd like to read it, let me know.

we have just gone through this process in work here, and talk about a PITA!....

eTransmit was mostly harmless, bar the duplication of a few xref's, but we were able to etransmit the entire job as one batch and seemed to be fine, though it did take an eternity to pack up!

try it on a small job first and unzip it to a different drive....

Good luck....sounds like youre gonna need it!
I thought i seen the light at the end of the tunnel. But it was just someone with a torch bringing me more work.
