Dual slash marks in file path

Scott Baugh May 23, 2016 1:57 PM

So I cannot figure out why when I open my assembly I will see a dual slash on my file paths. I see this in the file reference occasionally as well.

Anyone ever seen this? Unfortunately we are not on any PDM sort of system at this time. We are working towards it, but its not something that will be here soon. Currently we are sharing the data over 2 external HDD's... its absolutely insane and extremely cumbersome. My frustration in this method is driving me crazy, but its all they will purchase for us right now... stupid, 110% stupid.... arghh!

I think I figured out what is causing this problem, but still no solution to resolve the issue. Looks like SW explorer is adding the 2nd slash mark to all my files. I tried coping the files to my local drive using a single folder and placing all my files there and it did the same thing:

SW explorer is nothing but a nightmare in 2015... PITB.

Scott, what's up?

The dual slash marks represent \\servername\sharename

  If I was on a server using a shared drive name I would understand that, but I am using an external HDD that is not on a share.

Yes, it's the short display for a file path.
There is a setting in your PC for this. I will have to remember where it is.

  Thanks for all the replies thus far...
  
  I just checked and that option is not on.

  Check this out.... So if I go to a sub-assembly and I check references I see this:
  
  If I browse in the same directory and select the exact file I get this path instead now:
  
  I don't think this is a windows issue,, because SW recognizes the path is different.
