I’m
using ArcMap 9.2 From:
okgis-bounces@gis.gis.ou.edu [mailto:okgis-bounces@gis.gis.ou.edu] On Behalf Of Todd Fagin When you say projects, are you using ArcView
3.x? Or are you using ArcGIS software? Either way, the way to do this is to set
relative paths. f you are using ArcView 3.x, open the .apr
with a text editor, such as Notepad or WordPad. Find all references to the
drive and change it to a blank drive or the new drive name. For instance,
if the path is now C:\projects and you are moving it to D, change it either to
\projects or D:\projects. (it’s been a while since I have done this with
ArcView 3.x, so I cannot remember if the relative path needs a colon at the
beginning. Make a backup copy of your APR before doing this, to be on the
safe side…) If you are using ArcMap, select
File—Map Properties. Click the Data Source Options… button,
then select the Store relative path names radial button. The one very important caveat to this is
that the file structure remains identical on the new drive. So, for
instance if you have C:\projects\shps; ensure that you maintain this on the new
drive, so, for instance, D:\projects\shps Todd Fagin Coordinate

projects from one drive to another. Does anyone know if there is a way to do
this without having to re-set the data source for each shapefile? |
