File path issue

My PTC Arbortext Editor (ver: 8.2.2.0) uses the direct path to entities and stylesheets, see below:

<?xml-stylesheet href="file:///C:/Users/joseph/Desktop/project/XML/DTD/40051C_7_0.fos"?>

<!ENTITY IMG-1 SYSTEM "C:\Users\joseph\Desktop\project\XML\GRAPHICS\IMG-1.svg" NDATA SVG>

I want it to use relative paths (I thinkI worded that correctly) like below:

<!ENTITY IMG-1 SYSTEM ".\GRAPHICS\IMG-1.svg" NDATA SVG>

How do I change that to the default in Arbortext?

I looked through those topics and here is what I did:

I went into Tools > Preferences > File Locations > and changed "DITA References:" to "%H\XML". That didn't work, so I tried "%D\XML". That didn't work, either. But DITA References: changed back to "C:\Apps\PTC\Arbortext Editor 8.2\ditarefs\XML" each time, I reopened Arbortext. What am I doing wrong?

I am not sure,. you should ask PTC support for some assistance.
