Reuse Library search path, NX9

Reuse Library search path, NX9

Reuse Library search path, NX9

(OP)
I'm successfully using a series of folders with commercial and custom parts in my Reuse system.

I use "From folder" for my assembly load options.

What I want to do is start building small assemblies into the reuse library.
Assemblies that are built with singular parts that are already organized in other reuse sub folders.

If I do this now... the assembly I drag into my work space cannot find those child parts because they are in other folders.

Isn't there a special search path exclusively for the reuse library that solves for this type of problem? Perhaps an environment variable or something?? Something I can use the \xxx\xxx... type of format to force sub folders into the path???

I prefer not to get into using "search folders" in load options because I'm in and out different projects all the time. It's such a hassel to constantly change those paths... even when they are saved off.

TIA for any help
