Secure Referenced sheets

Hy,

I wanted to ask if there is a possibility to permanently reference the sheets in MathCad. The current problem is that once I send sth to a colleague, they have to reference all the sheets again because the path is not exactly the same. That would save a lot of hours to our team.

Best wishes to all.

You could put the referenced sheet on a common server, where the path would be the same.

Thank you very much, that was sth I did not yet think of.

Its a pity that we can't use Prime worksheet string variables to set the path to the referenced sheet.

But, while not obvious, its possible to type in the path manually and you can use relative paths when you do so.

That way you could keep the referenced files and the main document always in the same directory, referencing ".\HEA.mcdx" or the like or keep them in a certain relative subdirectory structure.
