asm with parts in different folders?

[DarylWolf]

Is there a way to have parts in different files and still have an assembly not crash. I have three parts I will be working on and want to be able to periodically check the comparisons as I go. I dont need anything too complex. Its just for visual comparison. Im not crossing info from one to another or anything.

This info may be on here already but I couldnt find anything.

Thanks

Hello Daryl

If you need read parts for assembly from many folders you can create your own file (*.pro) which contains the path to the directories

For example:

D:\PURCHASE_PARTS\nuts

D:\PURCHASE_PARTS\screws

D:\PURCHASE_PARTS\pins

D:\PURCHASE_PARTS\washers

When you have your own search_file.pro (your search path file) do you need set this file to config.pro with configuration options:

search_path_file ...path...\search_file.pro

Have a nice day.
