Allegro: How to correctly set modulepath for design re-use.

JFuoco
JFuoco over 6 years ago

In Allegro, we can set a modulepath similar to padpath, psmpath, etc, by doing:

File > Setup > User Preferences > Paths > Library > modulepath [...]

I've done this, and linked a folder with a bunch of .mdd files:

The issue is when I go to use one of them (Place > Replicate > Apply) I still have to browse to the folder, and select the .mdd file I want to use. I figured by setting the modulepath, I'd have access directly from the RMB menu.

Is that now the functionality is built?

TLDR: What I'd like to do, is save a .mdd in my module path, and be able to use this in place replicate apply, without having to "Browse" and find it in Windows Explorer. Is this possible?
