If you are a regular user of Newforma Project Center then you will no doubt appreciate its ability to understand both AutoCAD and MicroStation CAD files. Project team members know that they can easily search for and find text within these CAD files - even if they're buried in a ZIP file or an attachment to an email. They also typically use the Newforma Viewer on a regular basis to view, markup and compare these CAD files natively - even if they don't have the relevant CAD application installed on their workstation.
However not all users are necessarily aware that Newforma Project Center can also provide significant help in managing the external reference files (x-refs) that are often so critical in providing a complete and accurate set of drawing information for a project.
A simple click on the Utilities task when browsing in the Project Files Activity Center will provide an audit report of all the external references within the project.
Note that various options can be selected to provide a very comprehensive report.
Which can then be output in a variety of formats including as an Excel spreadsheet.
