This is a problem we really ought to look at. I run into this same exact issue with autocad files. People send me a dwg file which is linked to some dxf somewhere. The program doesn't explicitly tell you that your dwg is useless without the dxf in the same directory.With Pro-E, the assemblies assume each part is in your path. If they're not you have to manually locate them. Maybe we could come up with an informative prompt that explains why you can't open the file. Something like: this file links to the file "XXXXXX.dat", but "XXXXXX.dat" appears to have moved. Would you like to locate it?
oh, maybe I didn't explain myself right. If you try to reload a .vsz file and there is a file missing I think you will understand, there's a pop up with a message about it (kind of).
I just think it's more user friendly (intuitive?) to have relative PATH than absolut PATHs. That's the way the web works (html href tags for the same website)...
