Hello
I have an issue with none microstation user colleagues moving photos & pdfs i have attached to a microstaiton drawings or moving the project file completely, which then drops the links to the raster files attached. Is there a way i can make Microstation automatically save relative path to raster files?.
The photos i attach are from different folders each time so setting it to one folder is not what im looking for. I just want it to auto save relative path.
I looked through loads of existing questions on this but i could not seem to find a relative answer. Im using Descartes stand alone V8I Series 5
Thanks
I am not a Descartes user, but in my workspace I define a configuration variable in my project config file that points to the folder locations of raster images. Are you able to do that in your workspace? I use MS_RFDIR along with MS_DEF
MS_DEF2 = H:/Regional_Data/Raster/Aerials/PA/pamap/
#Raster Refernece Search Paths
MS_RFDIR > $(MS_DEF2)

Configuration variables provide a better way. Unlike a relative path, a configuration variable can point to a non-relative path such as a different drive.

How do i do this?
I have been trying to add a new path to expansion but nothing shows up.
im not sure what details i am putting in which box, tried a few variations and still nothing shows up. Currently in expansion is the path to programme files where microstation is. Adding New is not working. Do you know what to put in each box below?
