Arbortetxt Exporting Compound Document References Not Updating

Version: Windchill 12.0

 

Use Case: I have a large document open in Arbortext from our Windchill area, and when I run "Export as Compound Document", I see all the Windchill objects appearing in my local folder, with the DD# added to the filenames. I"m using Arbortext 8.2.1.0 and Windchill 12.0.7.


Description:

The issue is that inside the files, any references to other objects are still referring to the windchill path (x-wc://file=dd00118571.xml for example). Looking at the help article here: https://support.ptc.com/help/arbortext/r8.2.1.0/en/index.html#page/editor/editor_help/help17084.html

 

It seems like the references to Windchill objects should now be updated to point to the local files in the folder being used for the export and not the windchill path URL. Something I also just noticed is some files are being modified after the initial export, is this a post-processing step to update the references that I just have to let run until finished? Thank you!
