Xref File Access Error
« on: Dec 28, 2018, 19:40:26 PM »
Does anyone know what could cause a "File Access Error" with an external reference? We can't detach and reattach because of multiple references and can't see the file to delete. We have tried to re-path the xref, but this did not seem to work either. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I forgot to mention in the above post, but this is only affecting one person in our group. I could open the same drawing and the xref appears just fine.

Thanks.

Does the one person have all the same permissions on the network as you?  could it be on a drive that they do not have access to?

It's the little things you do that make up the big picture of who you are.

Thanks for the response. We both have the same network permissions. In fact, a couple of those xrefs are in the same folder, but it's just that one file not coming through for him. As far as I know, this issue hasn't come up for anyone in our group before. It's just been happening recently to this one individual.
