Managing Configurations and externally linked files

If there are externally linked files that themselves contain configurations, the dialog box changes, two new tabs are activated, and an option to manage the behavior of configurations between the main file and the linked files.

Configurations Manager

  • Apply Configuration to External Links: this optionallows you to apply configuration to all external linked files.

    Note

    The default behavior is to apply the same configuration names to external link files (so linked files must have the same configuration name as the main one).

  • Relation Between Link Configurations: in this tab you can define the relationships between external configurations and the main file configuration, so you can choose which configuration of the linked file to associate with that of the main file.

Configurations Manager

  • External Link Configurations: in addition, the tab allows you to directly apply the desired configuration of the externally linked file.
