Missing XRef Paths Dialog
File menu > Open > Open a file that references other missing files.
If you load or render a scene with XRefs, but the originally specified path of
the XRef object or scene can’t be found, or if the XRef object name doesn’t
match the object name in the source file, an alert appears telling you this. The
alert works in the same way as the missing bitmap dialog, and provides you
with three options, described below.
Interface
OK Lets you open the file. The referenced scene will have placeholders, but
will not exist in the scene.
Browse Displays the Configure XRefs Paths dialog which you can use to
specify the correct file path. This lets you modify, delete, add, and change the
list position of the paths 3ds Max uses to look for missing files.
This panel is similar to the one displayed by choosing Customize > Configure
User Paths >
XRefs on page 7529 .
If this problem occurs during network rendering, the dialog doesn’t appear,
but the errors are written to the network log file.
File Link
Data synchronization between drawing files created with AutoCAD, AutoCAD
Architecture (ACA), or Revit and 3ds Max is implemented using the File Link
