Catia: change path of design tables
Hello folks,
I have a CATPart, which is linked with 10 excel list as design tables. Now I want to change the path to these lists, with list name stay the same. Is there any function in Catia to redirect automatically these lists in the new folder ?
It's very frustrated to replace one by one, especiallyones with similar name.
Thanks a lot for your help !

Thanks for the pictures. But something doesn't look right.
The way it should work is:
SAVE MANAGEMENT should list all the files with links (including Design Table links). You should see something like the EDIT LINKS panel you attached. You would use the SAVE AS button to rename and/or redirect one of the files, and then use the PROPAGATE DIRECTORY button to repeat all the other files.
The DESK image shows the Design Table files as not loaded. Maybe you should open them first?
File + Save Management
@Jack Knapp: I tried your instruction but there is no option to redirect automatically the lists in the new folder. Can you pls tell me more detail. Thanks.
Dat Le: could you please attach a picture of the Save Management window that shows the list of all your files. Thanks
Jack Knapp: as you can see in image 1, the CATPart is linked with 6 excel lists in drive X. I moved all these 6 list to another folder and want to redirect the CATPart to them, for ex. drive C. I had to replace them one by one.
In image 2 there is no option to redirect automatically to these lists from the new folder.
Dat,
Did you say that you already moved the Design Table files to a different folder? WRONG!
Move them back to the original folder. Verify the part file is linked correctly to the Design Tables (do the Design Tables still work?) And then use SAVE MANAGEMENT to move the excel files. Save Management will also correct the links automatically.
Dat, Go to Edit/Links in the main menu and change the path to DesignTable file.
