John, we are talking about shortcuts or 'links' not importing the file itself into the DDB, so i don't see how the wrapper is an issue
Terry, i can't believe i never noticed that after all these years! works great for me, PDFs too but is see the following issues which i find puzzling: i started a new MSACCESS DDB design i dragged in a small schematic and a small board so it would be something a bit like a real design both files were very small, 10K + 900K i then made a LINK to a JPG the file size in the DDB shows 3M but the JPG is only 68K the ICON in the DDB shows the shortcut arrow thingy then i linked to a PDF the PDF external file is about 60K and the DDB link file is about 6K which seems about right so what is up with the JPG case? BTW, the PDF pointer works fine, as does the JPG each launcing their own associated apps also can you expose the properties of the LINK ? i want to see the path that the link contains but it is blank in the right click properties dialog Dennis Saputelli Terry Creer wrote: > > Hi Dennis, > > See page 30 of the P99SE Handbook. > > Just right click in a DDB window and choose 'Link' from the menu (the menu > that contains "New, Import, Import Folder, Import Project, Link, View"). > > Cheers, > > TC > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dennis Saputelli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:31 AM > To: Protel EDA Forum > Subject: Re: [PEDA] Shortcuts in 99SE ? > > in the 99SE DDB system (not the windows file system) it is not > possible to add a shortcut (or link) to an external file, is it ? > would a be nice feature > > Dennis Saputelli > > -- > _______________________________________________________________________ > Integrated Controls, Inc.
