Replace And Reload Refference Paths

[fccool]

I need to replace and reload refference paths, yet I can not find much info on this topic. Can anyone help me out?

The procedure would be :

1) Find all referenced scenes

2) Replace the paths with relative network paths

3) Reload the scenes

Anyone have Idea?

Ok I've figure out how to do every single thing described above, but I still can not find how to change path for a given Refference Node. Some of my referenced nodes do appear to have a fileNames atrribute empty. Is there a way to change the path of the referenced file and then reload the reference with new path? Thank you for your help.

hi ,
try this

global proc rel_refs(string $newpath)
{
string $refs[] = ls -type "reference";
for($ref in $refs)
{
if ($ref != "sharedReferenceNode")
{
string $oldname= referenceQuery -f $ref;
string $extn = fileExtension($oldname);
$oldname = basename($oldname,".mb");
$oldname = basename($oldname,".ma");
$newname = $newpath + $oldname + "." + $extn;
file -loadReference ($oldname + "RN") -type "mayaAscii" -options "v=0" $newname;
}
}
}

rel_refs("your path here/")
