Hi, I do have a solution to this issue. It can be resolved within Framemaker. Somewhat convoluted but it works every time!!!

The xrefs then resolve to the files in that folder. The solution is to redirect the xrefs to the files at the root footer of the archive (as described below). If editing takes place in the interim, you can have a frightful mess, I'd guess. Here's a comment and the response I posted on that http:// page regarding the problem: ====== SNIP ==== By Serge Menard - 11:23 PM on July 26, 2012 Hi, thanks for this excellent script. A great time saver. However I should report that it copies the referenced insets twice: in the user specified archive directory then in the Insets sub-directory. Can this be corrected easily? Thanks again. By [email protected] - 5:35 PM on January 17, 2013 It does more than that (and this is also a problem). It also (at least at times), puts copies of files in a book into the Insets folder and then uses those as the targets for cross references. I had to delete these files, make mifs of the affected files in the main directory and do a find/replace in the mifs: find: <XRefSrcFile `Insets replace: <XRefSrcFile ` Maybe a function to do this can be added to the script to fix this problem. ===== UNSNIP ===== Craig Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2015 13:55:25 -0800 From: [email protected] Subject: Broken x-refs after archiving To: [email protected] Conditions: ?
