Each embedded Mimic has a Relative setting that you can use to define whether an embedded Mimic uses relative or absolute references. This only applies when the embedded Mimic is stored on a different system to the Mimic that you are currently editing.
If you clear the Relative check box, the embedded Mimic will use an absolute reference. This means that:
- The embedded Mimic has to be in the defined location
- The Mimic that contains the embedded Mimic cannot be moved (without breaking the link to the embedded Mimic)
- Copies of the Mimic will also contain the absolute reference and so has to be in the same location as the original Mimic.
If you select the Relative check box, the embedded Mimic will use a relative reference. This means that the link to the embedded Mimic will work as long as the Mimic and the embedded Mimic maintain their locations in relation to each other. They can be moved onto other systems, copied and so on, and the link to the embedded Mimic will remain intact.
