I keep a file called "Linked_Docs" on my local PC when I store all of the local docs that I reference in EA. When relating (linking) a local file to an element, I would use the browse function to find the file within "Linked_Docs", which captures the full path name. However I replace all of the full path name, up to and including "Linked_Docs" with a path variable that I had set up. For example, instead of saving:
C:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA\Linked Docs\Folder\SubFolder\document_name.pdf
I would change it to:
%LINKED_DOC%\Folder\SubFolder\document_name.pdf
This allows me to move the EA project file to another PC that may have a different fill path for the "Linked_Docs" without changing all of the saved related file links.
This continues to work in Release 13, but since they moved menu items around, I cannot find where to update the path variable.
Any clues?

I guess Code/Configure/...Paths
Those ribbons are annoying.

That's it.
I did not look that close at the Code ribbon, since I do not do any coding.
Tend to think it is not in the correct ribbon location.

Hi,
with ribbons you often can help yourself by:
- Find Command (top right, 1. line, Microsoft Office 2016 Visual Style)
- Type 'path'
Another way is to search the EA User Guide (e.g. from SPARX site)
- Type 'path'
Yes, if you're familiar with the old system it's annoying. But if you get used to it you soon will see that it's a lot easier (my personal view). That's almost with every new thing which is going to replace an old thing.
Kind regards,
Helmut
