[Equest-users] How to remove CAD xrefs?

[Reddy Tupakula]

Brian,

What u can do is, simply save the project in a totally new directory and try
opening the file with eQuest, there will be a warning sign that the eQuest
is looking for AutoCAD file and click on the option 

Which says "Remove all" and then eQuest will load the file as normal,  But
be aware that this can be done only if you are in the detail mode and I'm
not sure if it is same with wizard too.

 

Hope it helps you

Thanks

Reddy

Hi Brian,

I would suggest you to refer to the archives of [Equest-users] postings.
Gary Schrader had responded to this query with the following solution:

You'll need to open your .pd2 file inside of notepad. Search for the text of
the filenames that you have removed, then delete those lines associated with
that(those) file(s) and save.

 

Example:

 

You deleted CAD_1.dwg, but want to keep CAD_2.dwg:

 

<---- Delete everything between these lines ---->

CADFile   "CAD - 1"
   FileName = "CAD_1.dwg"
   FilePathOffset = 1
   ScaleUnits = 0
   ScaleValue = 1
   OriginX = 0
   OriginY = 0
   Azimuth = 0
   ..

<---- Delete everything between these lines ---->

 

CADFile   "CAD - 2"  
   FileName = "CAD_2.dwg"
   FilePathOffset = 1
   ScaleUnits = 0
   ScaleValue = 1
   OriginX = 0
   OriginY = 0
   Azimuth = 0
   ..

 

Hope this helps.

Is there a way to remove the CAD files that have been added to an eQUEST
project?  I have an eQUEST file that has several CAD files referenced in it,
and one of them seems to be causing the program to crash.  Changing the CAD
file paths isn't working.  I'm new to eQUEST.

 

Thank you,
