The download for this utility can be found here.
The application changes reference attachments to use relative attachments.
Place mkrefsrelative.ma in the ..\mdlapps\folder.
..\mdlapps\
Key in: MDL LOAD mkrefsrelative from the Key-in Browser
MDL LOAD mkrefsrelative
or
from Utilities > MDL Applications > Browse, select mkrefsrelative
The application will scan through your references and bring up a dialog box that will say something like "Change Slot 1 attachment filename from "border.dgn" to "..\borders\border.dgn?" with Yes, No, and Cancel buttons.
Clicking Yes makes the change.
There are two optional command line arguments: mdl load mkrefsrelative -[y|n|h|?] [logfilename] '-n' means do not query for each reference '-y' (or no argument) means query for each reference '-?' or '-h' shows usages message
mdl load mkrefsrelative -n d:\tmp\relative.log
NOTE: It is highlyrecommended to try this on backups of your project to make sure it does what you want.
