Hi,

 

is there a way to save the complete data together(including Graphic and CSV data) in the same file. it seems like if i move the Graphic or CSV file, the Motionview file could not detect the data anymore and no graphic or curve is defined in the MDL file. I need to `guide` the directory again to the CAD or CSV file.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    You can modify your model under Tools -> Options -> Path Management.  If you convert the model to use 'Relative Path Names', and then keep your graphics, and .csv data in the same folder as the .mdl, then you will not have these issues.

     

    Also, you can convert the .csv data from type of 'file' to 'values', and the .csv will be converted to values that are stored internally.  However this doesn't address the graphics, where are always externally referenced, unless you define them using graphic primitives inside MotionView.
