This check box is linked to the Convert file paths to UNC on page 7750switch on the Asset Tracking dialog > Paths menu. Toggling either one toggles both. NOTE This switch affects only newly added paths. Toggling it has no effect on existing paths. For example, if you load an image file into a Bitmap map on page 5795 from a mapped drive with the switch on, turning it off does not change the file path to the mapped version. Convert local paths to Relative Converts the file paths of all newly added assets in a scene so that they are relative to the project folder on page 6932. Default=off. NOTE This is a system setting and is not saved with the scene file. Backup on Save Creates a backup file if a file of the same name already exists. The existing file is renamed maxback.bak and placed in the autoback directory before the save occurs. You can edit the automatic backup settings in the Auto Backup group on page 7752. Default=on. Increment on Save Creates a new copy of the file in the same directory whenever you save the file. The name of the new file is incremented by 1 (filename01.max, filename02.max, and so on). Default=off. Compress on Save Saves the 3ds Max file in a compressed format. Depending on the details of the file, the compressed file can be as small as one-fifth the size of its uncompressed equivalent. Default=off. You can determine whether a 3ds Max file is compressed or not by bringing up Properties for the file in Windows Explorer. On the Contents panel, under General, you'll see whether the file is compressed or uncompressed. Save Viewport Thumbnail Image Saves a 64-pixel thumbnail of the active viewport when you save each MAX file. The Asset Browser reads thumbnails. Saving thumbnails adds about 9K to each MAX file. Default=on. Save Schematic View When on, the active schematic view is saved with the MAX file. Default=on. Save File Properties When on, any data entered in the File Properties dialog on page 7124 is saved with the scene file and can be accessed with Windows Explorer and File Finder on page 7143. When off, the file properties information is not stored with the file. Default=on. Display Obsolete File Message Turns off the "Obsolete data format found Please resave file" alert that is displayed when you load a MAX file created in an earlier version of 3ds Max. Default=on.
