You set preferences for external use-case files if you want to link use-case external description files in a DOORS module. This enables you to select a link in DOORS and open the external description file in Microsoft Word.
To set preferences for external use-case files:
1. Create a directory to hold the use-case files, such asC:\Doors\UseCaseFiles
.
Note: Do not use any white spaces in the directory name; otherwise, DOORS will not be able to resolve the link.
2. Set up the RT Interface to point to the use-case files directory by doing the following:
a. From the Rational Statemate main window, clickor select Tools > RT Interface > DOORS I/F.
Note: When you select DOORS I/F, a warning splash screen displays, which can be ignored. Click OK to delete the splash screen.
b. Select the Advanced tab.
c. Clickto the right of the blank path window for the Use-Case external description file path, which opens an Explorer window.
