A few users asked if it was possible to link resources in a project on our forum and through the feedback forms. Linked folder example. Note the arrow icon that decorates the easics folder. You can indeed link to files and folders that are stored in locations outside of the project. These special resources can be used to add files and folders to your project that for some reason must be stored in a certain place outside of your project and that can not be treated as external files (See the "VHDL Libraries" section in the documentation). Here is the way to do it (for linked folders):

• In the project explorer: right-click the project or folder where you want to create the linked folder.
• From the pop-up menu, select New > Folder.
• If you want the name of the folder to be different from the name of the folder in the file system, you can specify the new name. If you do not specify a different name, the original name of the linked folder will be used.
• Click Advanced.
• Check Link to folder in the file system.
• Enter a file system path, or click Browse to select a folder in the file system.
• Click Finish.

To create a linked file, follow the same steps as above, except choose New > File instead of New > Folder in the context menu.
