Issue Details

I'm using a display instrument in DIAdem, for example a Status display, to show graphics on a DAC schematic, but when I use the relative path to the files, DIAdem does not show the images in the Visual tab.
If I use the absolute paths instead, the pictures are shown correctly.

Does DIAdem support relative paths on DAC module?

Solution

DIAdem does not support relative paths in the area of the DAC/VISUAL modules. Currently DIAdem has only the ability to process a file name without path specification.

In such a case the same directory is used from which the DAC file was loaded. If you copy all graphic files into the directory in which the DAC file is stored and adjust the status display so that only file names without path specification are defined, the program shows the desired behavior.
