Correcting Broken References

If a reference has a status of Broken in the References tab, VectorWorks cannot locate the master file. Items referenced from that file cannot be updated until the broken reference is corrected.

To correct broken references:

1.	Select Tools > Organization to open the Organization dialog box.

2.	From the References tab, select one or more master files that have broken references, and click Update.

3.	An alert prompts you to locate the master file. If you selected multiple references, select Look for subsequent broken references in all of the folders manually located to have VectorWorks search the same location for all of them.

If a file is set to update automatically when it is opened, and one of its references is broken, this alert displays when you open the file.

4.	Click Yes to open the Open Current-Version Drawing dialog box.

5.	Locate the master file and click Open.

On the References tab, the status of the broken reference changes from Broken to Up to date or Out of date. If you selected the option to look for subsequent references in the same location, those references are corrected also.

6.	Click OK to save the new name and/or location for the references.
