Yes, I do realize that I should have asked this yesterday (last Monday of the month event), but here goes:
How are users to deal with paths of decals and families that are kept inside templates? Paths of image files point to the templates' authors local drives. This does not seem to be a problem unless you host a project on B360/ACC. I have occasionally run into missing file paths on opening the project file.
The second thing that is regularly contained within templates are the file paths to the included families origins in the authors' respective environments. These only appear when you first try to edit one of the families and save it before writing it back to the project afterwards. If you happen to be in the same environment as the original author you are offered with the original path to where you may or may not have writing rights.
Should users set up B360/ACC projects that have all their families and images uploaded to the project environment? Followed by a reload from cloud path for every family? Will these paths be updated when all .rfa files exist within the same path as the newly created project?
Can somebody from AD confirm that this is not a problem?
