Support File Options

You can specify the directories in which you store support files, such as drawing sheet formats or thread size tables. Drawing sheets contained in these directories are displayed within the Format tool.

Support Files Search Paths, defined in SpaceClaim Options, are also used when searching for models required by assemblies. This situation occurs, for example, when external components are moved to a different directory.

To set the location of support files:

1. Select SpaceClaim Options from the File menu to display the SpaceClaim Options window.

2. Click Support Files from the navigation panel on the left.

3. Click Browse to replace the selected path or click Add to add another path, and navigate to the file or directory you want to include. (You can also select the path and click Remove to remove it.)

4. Select a path and click Move Up or Move Down to order the file paths.

5. Click OK.

To change the file location display:

• Drag nodes to reorder the search paths, which determines the order in which files are searched.
• Right-click the top level (or root) node and select Add to add a new search path.
• Right-click a node and select Browse, Remove, Move Up, and Move Down.
