I have mapped a drive pointing to a server on the network, giving me the following path:
R:\...\...\...
I opened the Project Settings dialog and used File Browse for the above path to set an IP Catalog location.
I exit out of PlanAhead and then re-launched the software to re-open the project. When I go back to the Project Settings dialog, I see that all the backslashes have been removed from the IP Catalog location path.
Why does this occur?
This is a known issue in the PlanAhead software which has been fixed in the 12.2 release.
In the meantime, you can work around the problem by typing the path in again, closing the project, and opening it back up (do not close PlanAhead).
