To Replace Broken References

Locates all references that use a specified path from all the references that you selected, and replaces all occurrences of that path with a new path that you specify.

  1. In the External References palette, select references with a not found status.
  2. Right-click the broken references and select Find and Replace from the context menu.
    Note: It is recommended that you use Select New Path contextual menu if you are selecting a single broken reference.
  3. In the Find and Replace dialog, click the Ellipsis button to specify a new path to replace the earlier saved path. The Find Saved Path is pre-populated with the last saved folder location for the broken references.
  4. Click Replace All.
  5. On the summary message (displays the number of updated references and failed to update references), click OK.
