AutoCAD Tip: How to list all drawings that contain a specific Xref

This creative tip was from Mike Hacker of London England.

This is from the private Autodesk MyFeedback discussion forums. One AutoCAD MyFeedback member asked for a way to be able to find all drawings that contained a specific external reference Xref. Mike Hacker another MyFeedback member responded with a creative approach as a solution.

In Design Center there is an option to search.
You select the pull-down and choose Xref, type in the Xref name, it will then search all drawings in a designated folder to see where that file is Xref’d into.

Thank you Mike.
