If any of your form sets navigate to files outside of the main project folder, they will be given an absolute path (e.g. C:\Users\username\Documents\). If the file location changes, these pathways will become "broken" and need to be remapped to the new location. Micromine Origin & Beyond 2023.5 has a new tool to remap file pathways in bulk by running a find and replace on the path string. In the past, users were required to remap each of these pathways on each form individually which can be a very tedious process. This article will explain how to use the For Set Path Remap tool to remap any number of form sets in one pass.
The Form Set Path Remap tool is located in Home | Forms | Form Set Manager | Form Set Path Remap. There are four methods to choose from depending on the needs of the user:
1. All forms
All forms within the project form set database (FLDVAL220.BDB) are remapped.
2. Used in Macro
Restricts the remapping process to forms that exist within a macro file (.MCR).
3. Used in Saved Layers
Restricts the remapping process to forms that exist within a Vizex Saved Layer.
4. Used in Form Set File
Performs the remapping process on all forms within an exported Form Set File (.mmsetx).
At the bottom of the form, you will find the Old path and the New path fields. This tool works by running a find and replace function on all the path strings (it will find all instances of the string detailed in the Old path field and replace it with the string detailed in the New path field). Example: all your data was on a network drive with the path M:\Micromine\Data\. You have decided to migrate all your data onto OneDrive with the path C:\Users\username\Micromine\Data\. To remap all of your form sets, you would configure your form like the example below.
Default form sets are provided by the application for every form and will always exist irrespective of the project. Default form sets also include system form sets for such things as colour palettes, coordinate system definitions and plot layouts, etc. and are found in the Micromine Program Data folder (C:\ProgramData\MICROMINE\Micromine\Environment). Select Include default form sets if you have moved the location of this folder.
