ArcView 3.X project files (.apr) use absolute paths to reference the data sources for themes, tables, and other data. There are at least two ways to make your project protable: • Make a copy of your apr file. Open the apr in a text editor (like Notepad) and then use “Find/Replace” to change the original paths to the new path. Example: Find: “d:\data\gisprojects\myproject\” and Replace with: “d:\newdata\newgisprojects\”. • Use this project to strip absolute paths from another project.
