***IMPORTANT***
Adjusting computer time (+/-) after installation will shorten evaluation (temporary)
license by the amount of adjustment. When your temporary license expires, follow
"How to extend the license" paragraph below.
This is a shareware program and all the features can be used for two weeks after initial
installation.
===================================================================================================
How to use it:
1. To run the setup, you need local administrator's rights on your computer.

3. While running installation, xRepath help is started, so that you can read more detail about
the operation of the program
4. Once installed, use the program by starting it from windows <Start> menu:
Start->Programs->xRepath->xRepath.exe
5. Press <Help> on xRepath dialog for detailed information about how to use it.

General Description
-------------------
xRepath is the first in Intelcad BLITZ! series of standalone power tools for processing AutoCAD
drawings. Its purpose: provide means of easy and fast changing XREF and IMAGE paths in drawing
files throughout the project or entire drives filled with thousands of drawings. The latest
addition allows to create listing of all reference files (XREF and IMAGE type) from all
processed drawings in the form of Excel spreadsheet.
The unique characteristic of this program is, that it doesnÆt need AutoCAD to access
and modify DWG files. Another outstanding feature is its amazing processing speed. Where it
would take about 24 days for AutoCAD batch/lisp utility to load, modify and save 10000 drawings
on a larger project (assuming 3.5 min. /dwg avg.) , xRepath will do that task in a few hours.
And for everyday needs of sending some drawings with xrefs to the client, it will modify your
100 megabytes of drawings in one or two minutes (instead of few hours with lisp/AutoCAD based
solution).
Starting with version 2.2.0.7 we added support for modifying path of attached IMAGEes and
option for creating database or spreadsheet listing of files referenced by processed drawings.
This last feature will allow you to organize and review reference (XREF and IMAGE) paths
throughout the whole project.
Starting with version 2.0.0.1, xRepath can process drawings from R11 to AutoCAD 2000. Each
drawing after processing is saved in itÆs original format (that is R12 drawing will be saved
as R12, R13 as R13 etc.)
In the next version, to be released in first quarter of year 2000, we intend to add re-pathing
of raster image references.
We are planning to issue in the near future the whole BLITZ! family of DWG tools that can
process thousands of AutoCAD drawings per hour, here are some of them:
╖ scanner for finding corrupted files among thousands of drawings in network directories;
╖ other programs for unsupervised modifying of files from the list: renaming layers, blocks,
modifying attributes (eg. revision number) and other named objects throughout the projects,
detaching xrefs etc. etc.
╖ collecting specific information (like title block data: title, revision, etc.) and storing
it in a database.
To keep up-to-date with our developments, please visit often our downloads section
at www.intelcad.com. Each of the products will be offered for free evaluation, so that you
can try all its features with no hassle and then decide, if itÆs worth buying.
If you have certain particular need in terms of standalone processing of DWG files,
please let us know. ItÆs quite possible that we will be able to address your need
in BLITZ! family of DWG tools.
Thank you for your interest in this program. If you find any flaws in it, or see how it
could be made better, we welcome your suggestions. Valid suggestions can be implemented
and distributed within few weeks.
==================================================================================================
Limitations of Evaluation (temporary) License
---------------------------
The restrictions in this version are minimized:
* 10 drawings can be processed with each press of <Run> button (rather than 50000 in
full version, however there is no limit how many times you will run it on different
sets of drawings.
* specified time limit (2 weeks)after which temporary license will expire. It can be extended
afterwards, see "How to extend the license" below.
==================================================================================================
