When I use DA Manage Mode and use the 'Find Files' function at the
bottom, what is the search path based on?
When you use 'Tools' > 'Find' > 'Where Used', the search paths are
shown, but not in Manage Mode > Find Files.
It seems kind of dangerous, not to see the paths. How does one know it's
looking in the right path?
In the 'Tools' > 'Find' > 'Where Used, it will use the current Project
as the search path, or if INV is closed, it uses the last set Project.
Is this the same for Manage Mode > Find Files? If it is so, there is no
way to know it. Also, if it is so, I can imagine problems in the
following senario: Work on Project A, close INV, Discover a need to
change the name of all occurences of part1.ipt. Open Assem1.iam in DA
and select part1.ipt and do a Manage Mode > Find Files. It finds all
occurences of part1.ipt in Project A paths, but doesn't even look in
other Project search paths. So, you end up changing the name only in
Project A files. Later, open up another Project assembly and discover it
can't find part1.ipt
Shouldn't DA have a setting for the Project file to be useed?
Is anything different in R6?
