Path to otho's cant be changed

Dear forum members,

 

I recieved an project from another company with their old paths in it
In project setup i try to change the path of the ortho directory to the new location

For 1 reason or another the path is changed back to the main directory of the project as soon as i close the project setup

I even tried to change the path in the project.xml but it does not reflect in Plant 3D

 

How can i succesfully change the path of the orthos?

 

1 - Using project setup it fails

2 - changing the project.xml fails also 

 

If this was of any help please kudo and/or Accept as Solution
Kind Regards

I have done this by changing both the project setup and editing the xml file at the same time.

Hi @DGRL,

 

I will contact a couple of my Plant 3D specialists to see if they can jump into this conversation or provide me with a starting point to get this resolved for you.

Many thanks for jumping in 

i just found the file that needed to be changed

it is ortho.dcf 

Now all the changes that needed to be made are reflectin inside Plant 3D and all is working as it should (as far as i can see)

 

Again many thanks
