Use this form to tell ZW3D where to search for files referenced by assemblies, drawing sheets and CAM process plans. When you open a file, its path is added to the list. If you move a file that ZW3D needs to reference, be sure to add the path to the list. ZW3D searches the current directory first and then the default search directories in the order they are listed. The current directory is the one that ZW3D is running from (i.e., your User Directory).

1. Use the options to add, remove or reorder the paths in the list (see table below).
   
   
2. Pick OK to save the list or Cancel to close the form without saving it.

• Auto Save
  When enabled, changes to the ZW3D Search Paths list are automatic saved to the default configuration file.
  
  
• Auto Search
  If a component's parent file has been moved or renamed, you are automatically given an opportunity to select a new location.  You are also given the option to automatically search for the component in all files located in all directories listed in the ZW3D Search Paths.
  
  
• Save/use paths in Z3 file
  When enabled, search paths actively listed on the form are saved with the file. If the option is enabled when a file is opened, search paths embedded in the file are added to the active list of search paths. Only search paths that can be accessed in the current user's environment are used.
  
  
• OK
  Accepts the ZW3D search path list and closes the form.
  
  
• Cancel
  Closes the form without saving changes to the ZW3D search path list.
