Replace entire xref path (including filename) without opening drawings

    Anyone know of a faster way to switch out xref paths than scripting it?
    Right now I use a lisp and script to do the search and replace.

    I am aware of the Reference Manager and the express tools repathers,
    BUT....amazingly, they do not allow a full filename repath, just the path portion.
    Well I renamed a bunch of base files and moved them, so I need to repath the whole filename.

    I can't help but ask why those progs did not include that capability. Its the same spot in the database and actually
    more work to switch out the path vs the whole filename.

    thanks
