Topic: XREF reviewing

[nikospur]

Hello everyone!
I´d like to know if anyone invented something for this yet:
We are managing a very large project with a complex tree of XRref´s. Due to the looming deadline, I fear that some corrections may be missed during review, so I´m looking for a tool that will do any or all of the following:
-Analyze a Windows folder and generate a tree (or list) showing which files reference which
-Look at a file and tell me where it is being referenced in other files within a Windows folder
Basically, the idea is that when I need to modify even slightly a top-hierarchy file, I can easily see at a glance all the files where it was inserted and that may need reviewing or adjusting, so as to not forget any.
Now I´ll cross my fingers and hope....

Maybe this will help you out: http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=24406.msg295012#msg295012

That looks very helpful, thanks!. Should I save it as .lsp and load it into autocad? or is it another type of file?

That is correct. Welcome to the swamp.

Thanks! Is there a symbol that replaces a space in the file name, so that it isn´t interpreted as an ENTER?

I'm not sure what you are asking?

When it asks for a string of text to search, I want to write down something like "first floor plan", but after hitting space bar, it takes that as en ENTER stroke and I only get to type the first word. I thought maybe something exists like "first%floor%plan" which would represent the spaces....

After a cursory glance, change:

Code: [Select]

(setq CkStr (getstring "\n Enter name to check for [*]: "))to:

Code: [Select]

(setq CkStr (getstring t "\n Enter name to check for [*]: "))
