attach same xref multiple times

Hi All,

Is there an easy way to attach the same xref multiple times without actually clicking on attach and browsing to the path and attaching, as I already have the same file xrefed. 

As I'm working in Project Wise, it takes a lot of time to attach xref's by defining path each time.

Thanks,

Yamini

    As forum best practices you should tell us which version your using.

    You can use Copy Reference and you can type how much copies you desire.

    If this answer your question please close the forum with a verified answer.

    Hope this helps and regards.

  • Here is a tip to speed up ref attachments in pwise

    If  all your xrefs in the same place  in pwise explorer  browse to where all your xrefs live and  copy the path ..

    now set up a Function Key and  edit it to read  RF= <"paste the pwise path here">  ( dont use the brackets and save it..  next time  you want to attach a ref irom Pwise just press the F key and it will bring up the ref attach menu and drills down to the the folder waiting for you pto pick a file name... saves a lot of clicking ...
