I am building several assemblies in a working directory on my machine. Each time I open NX, I can use the "As Saved" option in assembly load options to get everything properly loaded. However when coworkers needs to load the assemblies on their machines, NX can't find the parts because they were located in folders on my computer. They have to add the proper search folders, which can be cumbersome (even when using the Folder\... to search subfolders). Is it possible to save the assemblies where the load option "As Saved" will use relative paths instead of absolute? Then when an assembly is loaded, it just goes to the proper folder every time?
On a similar note, is it possible to customize search folders with the assembly .prt file? Say I hypothetically have Assembly_1 which uses 5 search folders. I can set those search folders in the Assembly load options. Now each assembly I load in the current session will look in those folders. That works great as long as my assemblies use those folders. But say Assembly_2 uses different folders (and maybe files have similar names where I don't want to use the those original 5 search folders). I have to change the search folders. Since the options are for loading assemblies, it would be great if that information could just be saved with the file. The assembly file can remember "As Saved" locations, so maybe it can do search folders?
Thanks
