In addition to a workspace, you can also define library and subfolder search paths.
Search paths are examined in a specific order when opening a file (for example, an assembly) that references other files.
The Using Unique File Names option determines how Autodesk Inventor behaves when searching for missing file references.
- When this option is Yes, Autodesk Inventor searches the entire project workspace and workgroups (including subfolders) for a file with that name. If a file with that name is found, Autodesk Inventor uses it. If more than one is found, then Autodesk Inventor displays a dialog box listing all the files with that name. If the missing file name is not found, Autodesk Inventor activates the Resolve Link dialog box, where you can provide input as needed.
- When set to No, Autodesk Inventor uses its normal search process.
