In Plotmaker 9; drawing usage menu; pull down menu; 'properties' a file path is indicated, which relates to the Archicad .pln location and other drawings, such as .dwg, .dwf etc.
Our job project folders on the server are as follows;
Projects; Pre contract
Projects; Post contract
Projects; Defects
and
Archive
This morning I moved a job folder from Pre contract to Archive.
Now, trying to print a record set for the client, I notice that all of the drawings (130 of them) are given the status of 'deleted' under drawing usage. And the drawing path relates to the original location (Pre contract folder).
Do I now have to individually update 130 drawings to the new path of Archive folder.
Clarification or advice would be appreciated.
