Subject: Path to graphics updated in FM8
Hello All,
Our documents have the potential of being generic to be used in multiple
manuals. To achieve that, our safety icons are in a common location. The
FM files and associated graphics should always be together. When we move
the folders to another manual, everything should remain relative. With
FM8, writers go to our server and open a file, if the graphics are not
positioned correctly, the writer updates the location and FM8 changes the
location to absolute. Subsequent files that are opened and saved change
the graphic path to absolute and do not ask for the path change. Is there
any way to shut this off so that if a file is opened and the relative path
is incorrect, that it asks for the path update. The only other way of
verifying the path is to do a LOR.
Thank You,
