Editing Autorun arn file for paths

[[Ri...]]

I am undergoing a path change for our Autorun programs, the path before was about 7 subfolders deep and will become 3 subfolders deep.

Example: C:\Zeiss\Company Name\Programs\Another sub folder\Another sub folder\And another sub folder\Geezus\PCM Programs

Will now be:

C:\Inspections\PCM Programs

I came up with the idea of editing the paths in the arn file, this was easy to do.

Then I set my Calypso default paths accordingly in settings.

When I opened the new Autorun arn file, all the paths were exactly as original, I confirmed the edited the paths in the arn file.

Regardless of the path edits, I had to manually change all the paths in the Autorun system, which is a cumbersome task when you have 100's upon 100's of programs in different layers.

Where else are the paths being saved for Autorun arn paths? There has to be another file or more to look at.

Inside of AutoRun - go to Edit - Replace paths for Measurement Plans. There is a much more effective way of quickly changing folder structures. 🙂

I have found using that interface was hit or miss.

I have created the change and Clicked on the Check Mark and watched nothing change.

This is why I attempted editing the arn file.

I'll look into this - i think it may be same like with tolerance files - whole Calypso needs to be restarted. Perhaps just closing autorun can help.

But i'll see tomorrow.

There shouldn't be any other path locations. I have manually edited the arn file before in addition to the path replacement tool without issue. I even made a copy of my arn file just now to change one arbitrarily as a test and confirmed that the change carried over to Autorun.
