I am trying to create a configuration variable link in Project explorer that points to a file one up from where my Dgn is found.
I have created a variable
A_WORKINGFILES = $(PARENTDIR(_DGNDIR))WORKING FILES
this works as expected with MS_REF_DEFAULTATTACHDIRECTORY = $(A_WORKINGFILES)
My problem is when I try to use A_WORKINGFILES in PE, the link fails to harvest.
How can I go one directory up in PE.
Adrian.
Hi Adrian,
Apologize for getting back late on this. Are you still looking for an answer to this requirement? Please refer to this blog: Advanced Project Explorer - Configuration Variable Links
Following is what I tried and it works. Please provide additional details if your requirement is different.
If my current design file is in the following folderD:\TSG Daily Folder\PE\A.dgnWhere is your WORKING FILES folder located? (Your requirement)D:\TSG Daily Folder\PE\WORKING FILES\ORD:\TSG Daily Folder\WORKING FILES\
To get this value D:\TSG Daily Folder\PE\WORKING FILES\Configuration variable definition would be as followsA_WORKINGFILES = $ (_DGNDIR))WORKING FILES\
To get this value D:\TSG Daily Folder\WORKING FILES\Configuration variable definition would be as followsA_WORKINGFILES = $(parentdevdir(_DGNDIR))WORKING FILES\
Custom configuration variable link definition
