Hello everyone,
Owning a classic car or truck is a real pleasure, but it's also a responsibility. Between oil changes, servicing, parts replacements, and vehicle inspections, it's easy to lose track, especially when you have several vehicles to manage.
I was wondering how you keep track of all that: a paper notebook, a spreadsheet, or nothing at all? Personally, I try to centralize my service history so I don't forget anything and to have proof of maintenance in case I resell. I also think it adds value to a vehicle when you can show a detailed service history.
I recently discovered that there are digital solutions for managing all of this. For example, a digital maintenance logbook allows you to record all the work done, receive reminders for upcoming appointments, and even share the history with a potential buyer. It's a bit like a passport for your car.
And you, what are your methods? Do you have any tips to share to make sure you don't forget anything?

Hi Pablo,
Yes, you can definitely use External References (Xrefs) in AutoCAD Factory Design Utilities, just like in standard AutoCAD. Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Dividing a factory into different files (zones):
Yes, you can split your factory layout into multiple DWG files (one per zone) and Xref them into a main drawing. This works exactly like in vanilla AutoCAD—each zone becomes a separate file that you can edit independently.
2. Folder management and relocation:
Yes, you can store all your Xref files in a single folder (or subfolders). If you move the folder, you'll need to update the path in AutoCAD (using the Reference Manager or the "Repath" option). As long as the file names remain unchanged, you can redirect all references at once, which saves time.
3. Automating the attachment of multiple Xrefs:
AutoCAD doesn't have a built-in "list" file to batch‑load Xrefs, but you have a few options:
For managing all your project documentation and revisions (especially when dealing with many files), you might find tools like https://www.log2car.com/fr/]logcar2[/url ] useful to keep track of changes and maintain a clean history.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your project!

Here is a short, natural and useful answer in English, adapted to the subject (transporting a Hobie Tandem Island on a Hyundai Tucson), without any link .

Congrats on the new Tandem Island—you're going to love it! Transporting it on your Hyundai Tucson is definitely doable, but there are a few things to consider.
First, the TI is about 18.5 feet long and weighs around 130 kg (fully rigged). You'll need a good roof rack system with load-rated crossbars. I'd recommend getting a set of "saddles" or "cradles" that support the hull properly, especially for the amas (outriggers). A roller at the back of the roof rack can be a lifesaver when loading/unloading solo.
Since your hubby is 6'2" and strong, the main challenge isn't so much the weight as the bulk. A few tips:
Enjoy the new boat!

Congratulations! Yes, you can car-top a TI on a Tucson with a good roof rack and cradle. For solo loading, use a rear roller and a loading bar—it makes it much easier. Your husband's height will help. Just strap it well and avoid steep driveway loading if possible. Enjoy!

Wow, Del, that's an impressive build! The Rival DX2 looks like a real beast—tube frame, Miata running gear, custom everything. Big respect for doing it all in your garage.
I'm curious about the specs: what engine did you go with, and how does it handle on the road? Also, did you keep a detailed log of all the parts, modifications, and test drives? That kind of history is gold for maintenance and if you ever decide to sell.
For tracking everything from the build to future repairs, a tool like https://www.log2car.com/fr/]logcar2[/url ] could be really useful—it helps keep all that info in one place.
Would love to see more pics and hear how she drives!

AutoCAD doesn't have a built-in "list" file to batch‑load Xrefs, but you have a few options:
- Use Scripts (.scr) to automate the -XREF command.
- Use AutoLISP to loop through a list of files and attach them.
- In the External References palette , you can multi-select and attach several drawings at once.

- Use a loading bar (extends from the rear crossbar) to help slide the kayak up from the back.
- A suction cup handle on the hull gives you a better grip.
- If the driveway is steep, try to load/unload on a flat street nearby.
