I have DWG (Cad 2007) files that have external images and a type of fonts I need to keep on the drawings. I bought a new PC so I need to transfer those files....but I don't know how to keep the paths of the images and the fonts so I don't loose them in the new PC....any help on this will be appreciated !
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

or take a look at synctoy from Microsoft (it's a free Power Tool :) which should allow you to synchronise directories.. :)

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).
