NOTE For relative paths within the project folder, a leading ".\" represents the project folder path. On the other hand, one or more instances of "..\" preceding the path indicates that the path is in a sibling folder to the project folder, as opposed to a subfolder. For example, if your project folder is c:\MyProject\Project1 and the asset location is c:\Resources\myresource.jpg, then the relative path from the project folder to the resource is ..\..\Resources\myresource.jpg. If the asset was in c:\MyProject\Resources\myresource.jpg, then the relative path would be ..\Resources\myresource.jpg. Make Absolute Lets you make the path absolute, where a relative path is currently being used. For example, if ".\" represents your project folder in the path name, then when you make the path absolute the full name is used instead. Move Up/Down Lets you change the position of the highlighted path in the list to alter its search priority. Available only on the External Files and XRefs panels. Save as Lets you save the path configuration as an MXP file for sharing with team members. Load Loads a path configuration from an MXP file. The loaded configuration completely replaces the existing one. Merge Merges a path configuration from an MXP file. The merged configuration adds paths that exist only in the new file and replaces any existing paths. For example, if your File I/O panel > Scenes path is set to .\scenes (relative path) and you merge a path configuration file in which the Scenes path is set to the UNC path \\scene_server\max\scenes, the former path is replaced by the latter one. OK Exits the dialog and saves any changes. Cancel Exits the dialog without saving changes. Configure System Paths Customize menu > Configure System Paths The 3ds Max system uses paths to locate different kinds of files, including defaults, fonts, and startup MAXScript files. You use the Configure System Paths command to open the Configure System Paths dialog and customize these paths. 7732 | Chapter 26 Customizing the User Interface
