Use eTransmit and it will take everything.
Open the drawings and use eTransmit and this AutoCad function it will collect all the information that contains your drawings and it will export in a zip file where you will see that is everything inside(xref dwgs, images, ctb,etc).
Good luck
Always is something new to learn ....

Thanks for your input.

I have done and it works great. But I have at least 100 files.

So I was wondering if I can do it in one shot instead of e-mail 100 files.

But Thanks

Just copy all files to the new folders and then use the RefMan tool to adjust the xrefs/images paths globally to these new folders (or to relative paths).
