GDL objects and textures on different computers

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Feb 2005 13:25:08 GMT

Howdy folks,

Newbie with his first post here. This is hopefully a simple question to answer for some of you...

How do I ensure that all the gdl objects and textures that I use in my model "follow me" when I work on the model on another computer? I've been building a model on my home computer but now I need to work on it at school. When I open the file at school the gdl objects and textures that are not included in the standard library are missing. I realize this is because the "custom" (downloaded from GDL Central) objects and textures are stored on my hard drive at home and not on the one at school. How do I bind or attach my custom objects and textures to the model file, or is there something else that can be done so I don't have to download everything again? BTW, my file is a project file, maybe I should create an archive file? Would that type of file "store" my custom objects and textures.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Matt

You should create your own library with all individual stuff (jpg, gsm etc.) inside, which you have to move beside your pln.
Other way: You use the pla (archive) format, which encludes all plan relevant elements. But you have to use it each time you change your workplace. If you extract the library out of the PLA each time to change, you have to be aware of redundant library parts, because AC creates every time a new folder.

I use a folder, which I carry on my data-wart.
