Wow I make use of that and few others in Lab.  I got remind myself to pop in on the labs a little more often.

And congrats to you Glenn.  It nice to see Autodesk providing tools that were created by someone we know.

Kerry,

That's an intersting question. As far as I'm aware, Kean 'blogified' the formating and he also added a one line 'if' statement to address a flow problem I missed.

Why do you ask?

Heh...Thanks Dan - StyleCop is pretty good ;-)

We'll see if anybody actually uses it and even more surprisingly, likes it. :-)

Very cool tool but not what I need.  So close but so far away sort of thing.  :-)

I need version that that remembers the xrefs that were attached and reattaches them after they have been deattached.  The current project that we have been working on has process converyor and machines xrefs that we will attached every couple days or so for coordination purposes.  They are prefromace drags so we detach them when we do not need them.  The really pain in keister part is hunting and pecking part in a folder of 100 files.   

But I still thank you and like I said it is reall cool to see improvements from people we know
Thanks.

Ah...you do realise that an unloaded xref is...uh...like...unloaded don't you? In other words, it doesn't consume memory or only a very small amount. So what you do, is attach your xrefs once then unload them when you don't need them then reload when you do - saves hunting through your folders.

This way you don't get your performance drag. Of course, you can save an xrefstate with everything loaded and then unload the ones you don't need then save another state for unloaded. You then flip between the 2 as needed - simples.

Kerry,

I've done Kean a disservice because I'm guilty of just looking at my original code base when Kean and I were throwing projects around, hence i missed a few things.

To that end, in addition to what I've mentioned previously about Kean's edits, he's done the following as well:

1. Changed some prompt strings to make them more consistent with Acad standards.
2. Added his demand-loading module, which is pretty slick IMO.
3. Removed all of my copyright headers and whatnot which are a rule in StyleCop.
4. Collapsed my 2 project implemenation (one for main interface and logic and one for the extension methods) into a sinlge project implementation inline with what the Plugin of the Month is about - simple code bases, which is a good thing.

I think I've nailed all the extras now :-) It was a very pleasant experience working with Kean I might add - good bloke.

Cheers,
Glenn.

I think so too.  All contact I've had has been genuine.
