Modelbuilder & Python Combination Portability

[BruceNielsen]

I have a Modelbuilder tool that calls a Python script. I have selected the option in Modelbuilder Properties to use relative paths. If I move the folder that both the toolbox and script are in to another location (or give it to another user), the tool can no longer find the script; it expects it to be in the original folder. Any ideas on how to make this project truly portable?

The only thing I can think of is that you did not choose the relative paths option when creating the script tool that is in your model.

That was it. Thanks.

Did you see the associated help file topics on sharing custom tools ....

and I presume you have seen this on integrating scripts in models
