LinkPathSetRelative
This command converts an absolute path to a relative path. An absolute path to a resource is given as the unique path from the root of the hard disk, such as C:\ through a chain of directories to the database. An absolute path is C:\DATABASES\MONTANA\BILLINGS_W.BOX.
A relative path to a resource is given as the path from the current location of the current resource to the other resource. Look at the following absolute path descriptions for three resources:
- Resource: C:\DATABASES\MONTANA\BILLINGS_W.BOX
- Resource: C:\DATABASES\MATERIALS\MATERIALS.BOX
- Resource: C:\DATABASES\LIGHTS\LIGHTS.BOX
If the resource BILLINGS_W.BOX wishes to reference MATERIALS.BOX and LIGHTS.BOX using a relative path, the relative path is described as "go up one directory from your current location. Look in the directory named MATERIALS to find MATERIALS.BOX". The term "..\" is used to say "move up on directory".
- Resource: C:\DATABASES\MONTANA\BILLINGS_W.BOX
- Relative Path: ..\MATERIALS\MATERIALS.BOX
- Relative Path: ..\LIGHTS\LIGHTS.BOX
- Resource Location: C:\DATABASES\MONTANA\MODELS\TREE.BOX
- Relative Path: ..\..\MATERIALS\MATERIALS.BOX
- Resource Path: ..\..\LIGHTS\LIGHTS.BOX
