Hi!

I'm having a problem in with the dataextraction feature that I've tried to solve for a long time and also I couldn't find a solution - neither by google.

Maybe someone here, with more expertise, can help me.

To keep it simple, I have an autocad file and do a dataextraction that creates a table in the very same file. I then copy both the dxf and the data extraction file (dxe) somewhere else. The problem is that the table in the copied file actually links to the old dxe. The old (and the copyed) dxe in turn actually references the old dxf file. So I end up with table data from a completely different file.

I would like to be able to make both the dxe reference in dxf and the references within dxe *relative*.

Do you have any idea how to achieve this or at least work around the problem?
