The deleted file is temporarily placed in the Recycle bin and can be
restored to its original location if necessary. When you empty your Recycle
bin, the file is permanently lost.
Changing File Structure
Projects often grow over time and the file structure must change to
accommodate the complexity. You can more easily change the file structure
if you plan it before you start the project, laying it out so that the data is
portable.
Using the project option Using Unique File Names = Yes, you can restructure
folders or move data files without breaking references.
NOTE Before you open files after moving them, click Tools ➤ Application Options.
On the Save tab, select the Reference Resolution Changes check box. Open all
files and save them to update the references to the new location.
TRY IT: Use Windows Explorer to restructure files
1 Define the subfolder structure you need before you create or edit any
files. Create the subfolders immediately after creating a project so that
new saved files are located in the correct subfolder.
2 Create subfolders under the project home folder for personal workspace,
such as:
■ Create a subfolder named Components where you store shared
subcomponents, including assemblies.
■ Create a subfolder named SubAssemblies and under it, a subfolder for
each main subassembly. Put the assemblies and parts unique to each
in the subfolder.
■ For custom content library parts such as structural steel shapes, create
a subfolder named for it (for example, Structural Steel) and save the
generated parts in it.
■ Create folders for drawings and presentations.
■ Place the top-level (main) assembly or assemblies in the root workspace
folder.
