    Regarding this topic, how do you hand over these nwd files with the links to the building maintenance personel? I've tried putting all the linked files and nwd files on a usb stick, but if their computer reads a different drive, it doesn't automatically update. I guess what I'm asking is there a way to embed the links in the nwd or nwf when handing a file over to a building owner?
