Autodesk Reference Manager is a standalone utility that scans AutoCAD and AutoCAD‑based drawings to identify and manage external references—such as Xrefs, images, PDF/DGN/DWF underlays, fonts, and plot style tables. It provides a clear tree view of each drawing’s dependencies and lets you fix broken links, switch between full, relative, or no‑path settings, and batch repath files after projects are moved or folders are renamed. You can run find‑and‑replace on paths across many drawings, update saved locations without opening AutoCAD, and export reports for auditing. The tool helps keep projects clean and portable, reducing plotting errors and missing resource warnings. Typically installed with AutoCAD products on Windows, it edits path data only and does not modify drawing geometry.
Autodesk Reference Manager is developed by Autodesk. The most popular version of this product among our users is 15.0. The name of the program executable file is AdRefMan.exe.
