This procedure is not available on the File I/O
panel. In addition, it’s not available on the 3rd
Party Plug-ins p anel if only one plug-ins path

plug-ins path.

2. Click Delete.
The path location is removed.
3. If you want to restore the path, click Cancel.
This closes the Configure User Paths dialog
without saving any path changes.
To share User paths with team members:
1.
Use the Configure User Paths dialog to set up
all necessary user paths.
2. Click the Save As button and then use the
SavePathsToFiledialogtosavethepath
configuration as an
.mxp
file.
3. Make the path configuration file a vailable to
other team members.
4. Each team member then opens the Configure
User Paths dialog and uses Load or Merge to
open the path configuration file.
The new path configuration is now the same on
each team member’s machine.
Note: Using Load eliminates the existing
path configuration; using Merge overwrites
only paths that exist in both the current
configuration and the new one.
