TechFile: Is there a way to combine techfile, beside using incremental method?

Hi,

Is there a way to combine 2 techfile, besides using incremental techfile. I have 2 techfiles, which i use incremental method to consolidate 2 techfile into one. Example: techlibA and techLibB, and techLibB is reference to techLibA. I managed to get all infomation and layers in techlibB including info in techLibA. But if i try to retrieve infomation from techlibA, i cant get the tech info that i store in techLibB.

Is the any way i can get all techInfo, no matter i use techfile from techLibA, or techlibB?

Thanks

    Hi How,

    I'm with Andrew on this.  Even if you were not using an incremental techfile set up it does not make a lot of sense - how would you keep the files separate and yet still be able to use them as a merged combination?  Sounds like you want some kind of an "include" feature, but even then, only one file would be able to include the other; they could not include each other or there would be an infinite loop.

    Just my $0.02 worth (currently about 1.22 pence), so you can take it or leave it ;-)

    Lawrence.
