My organization is using one-drive to store our CAD projects. We are running into a headache with reference files not displaying properly when another user opens the file. Basically, it is due to OneDrive mapping to each individual user in the file path (ex. C:\\Users\username\OneDrive - Projects). Is there a way to save reference files as a "relative path" or somehow make the program correctly map the file despite the username changing in the file path?
Thanks in advance!
Edit to the above post. I said "references" what I really meant was "raster image references"
I have an example configuration that will find the path to where OneDrive is syncing to and create a variable pointing to that location. You can then use the variable to set MS_RFDIR. Raster references (in addition to regular refs will look for files in paths specified in that variable).
I posted the Config at GitHub:

also the documentation on creating portable reference attachments in the connect documentation applies to connect & v8i:

Excellent detective work!
