The Reference Manager Extension is a stand-alone tool that helps CAD managers and users manage complex file relationships and dependencies generated by AutoCAD® 2002 and the vertical products based on it. A CAD manager can generate a network-wide report detailing all the AutoCAD-based file references. Any reference path changes necessitated by moving a project or renaming a file server, for instance, can easily be performed on multiple files in a single operation.
