Notes
- You can also set up a hyperlink (for an Enterprise Architect command) on a diagram to access the 'Local Paths' dialog, to switch, update or expand your current local path
- If the act of expanding or applying a path for a linked file will create a duplicate record, the process will skip that record and display a message at the end of the process
