INTRODUCTION:

Search Path Manager ia a simple macro that allows you to have simple control 
over use of SolidWorks' searching of file locations for external references.

This macro will allow you to do the following:

1) Quickly and easily set/clear the SolidWorks setting:
   "Search file locations for external references."

2) Predefine groups of search directories based on project being worked on, and
   select which group of directories you need based on user defined projects.
   This works well for people who may be working on multiple projects at the 
   same time.

Setting up the external configuration file.

NOTE: Use of the external configuration file is required for defining the
      projects and search directory groups.

  1) Project names must be preceeded by a blank row.

  2) Project names must be unique and enclosed in brackets [] as shown below.

  3) Directories belonging to a specific project must appear directly under the
     project name, without leaving any blank rows.  (Blank row indicates the 
     end of the directory listing)

  4) Directories that are to be used in multiple projects must be listed under
     each project.

Example:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
