Support of Folder Reference
Folder reference enables you to navigate to a specific folder from a model that you assigned the reference to. This feature is similar to file/URL/diagram reference in earlier release.
Adding a Folder Reference
To add a folder reference, click on the
References resource of a shape and select
Add Folder... from the popup menu.
In the
References page of the specification dialog box, type the folder path in
Path, or click on the
... button to select a folder. You may optionally provide a description in the
Description field.
Opening a Folder Reference
To open a folder reference, click on the
References resource of a shape and select the folder reference item from the popup menu.
The folder will be opened.
Working with User Path
A user path is a user-defined path that follows the workspace rather than the project. For instance, a user can map a documentation folder to “C:\Documentation” on his machine while another user maps the documentation folder to “J:\Projects\Documentation”. They can work on the same project and access the documentation path without any problem since the application is actually looking for the path that defined under the user’s workspace.
Configuring User Paths
To configure user paths, select menu
Tools >
Options.... Select the
User Path category in the
Options dialog box.
By default, paths of references are displayed as absolute paths.
By selecting the
Show User Path option, references that are defined with configured user paths with be shown in the format of ${USER_PATH}\RELATIVE_PATH.
Folder Referencing in Reports
Folder references added to models will also appear in generated reports with navigable links.
