Repath window
Lets you change an existing file path to point to a different location.
-
New path
- The directory where Maya looks for files that are being repathed. You can enter a path manually, paste a path into the field, or click Browse to navigate to a new location. By default, New Path is initially set to Maya's current working directory. If you are preparing a scene for use by someone with a different directory structure or platform, you can path to non-existent files.
Note: To repath a reference node, the target file must exist. Unlike other node types in the File Path Editor, you cannot repath references to non-existent files.

- When on, Maya searches through sub-directories to the specified New Path until the first instance of the file is found.

Repath Currently Resolved Files
