Sounds like somone is playing with the database. I have co-workers that like to "organize" sometimes. By the looks of it the reference you're using has a long path to travel & the culprit didn't know he was messing with your drawing. If possible I usualy try to keep a copy of my x-ref in a folder close to my project to prevent this. ]]> Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:23:26 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2283&PID=6377&title=xref-error#6377 <![CDATA[Xref Error : I&#039;ve come into work this...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2283&PID=6373&title=xref-error#6373 Author: jonnypetrie

I've come into work this morning and opened up some drawings I was working on yesterday. When I open the drawings this comes up in the output window;

I think I understand that CAD says this when it cant find an xref. What the strange thing is is that the xrefs dated 09.12.08 were deleted yesterday, and replaced with xrefs dated 03.08.09. When I look in my xref folder the files dated 03.08.09 are no longer and have been replaced by the old files!!!! I'm very confused.
 
I've had a look everywhere for then, they're not even in my temp files. Could this be a CAD problem or is the server playing games with me?
 
Cheers
