Do project folder names and AutoCAD Xref file names need to be updated because of project name changes?

Do broken references and links need to be fixed or repathed in batches of AutoCAD drawing files because Xrefs were moved or renamed?

Do batches of drawing files in one or more folders need to be moved without causing broken references?

Do references in drawing files need to be reported and validated before project files are sent to a customer or are archived?

Do directory structures need to be changed to facilitate new CAD standards, without causing broken links in drawing files?

Then LinkFixerPlus for AutoCAD is the answer! It is a fast stand-alone tool that allows for the reporting, validation and automatic repathing and repair of Xrefs and links contained within batches of AutoCAD drawing files.

LinkFixerPlus is like a "power version" of AutoDesk's Reference Manager. But unlike Reference Manager, LinkFixerPlus allows you to select files in multiple folders and subfolders at one time. And in place of typing the full replacement path, or having to manually browse to find it, LinkFixerPlus allows you to create and save sophisticated rules that define how broken references should be repathed, automatically, and in batch!

LinkFixerPlus also enables users of Autodesk AutoCAD to easily move or rename drawing files, in batch, along with the files they reference, such as Xrefs, images or sheet sets, without causing broken references in the drawing files! Additionally, LinkFixerPlus can be used to fix references that are already broken as a result of linked files that were moved or renamed.

And Xrefs in AutoCAD files can either be automatically fixed as the files are moved or renamed by LinkFixerPlus, or Xrefs can be automatically repaired by LinkFixerPlus after the files are moved or renamed.

LinkFixerPlus for AutoCAD can also generate a variety of detailed reports showing all of the Xref paths contained within the drawing files. It will even automatically validate each and every reference, including references pointing to Xrefs, images, fonts or OLE objects, so that broken references can be easily identified and repaired.

New Version!

The latest version of LinkFixerPlus for AutoCAD includes support for R2008 file types!
