Settings Dialog Box - External References Tab

Use the External References tab to specify vault folders for the Enterprise PDM software to search when handling external file references.

If you do not specify extra directories to search, when you unlock CAD files containing references, Enterprise PDM uses only the methods defined by the file type to resolve the references (for example, exact paths, relative paths, and project files).

To display the Settings dialog box, double-click Settings or right-click Settings and select Open. Click the External References tab.

Select file vault Select an additional vault to search for referenced files.
Extra directories Click Add to select folders to search for external references.
