How do you relocate the MCUXpresso ConfigTools configuration file to a subdirectory? There is a setting in the Overview View -
That doesn't persist and it keeps creating new .MEX files at the base of the project
Is it possible to relocate the MEX?
Hi,
few comments
1. you are in the MCUXpresso IDE section, but based on the screenshot you are using stand-alone Config Tools.
2. the mentioned button that "does not persist" is for one-time-only importing configuration from another project, it is not about "moving" MEX
Since version 14.0 (stand-alone only) there's a possibility to have mex somewhere else. For example I have toolchain project in the `c:\temp\hello_world` folder, including MEX.
Suppose I want MEX it in this subdirectory: c:\temp\hello_world\sub_dir
1. create sub_dir and move the mex there
2. open mex from this location
3. go to Edit | Configuration Preferences and set ".." to the `Custom toolchain project link`, confirm dialog
Of course you can specify an absolute path as well.
4. Lets see the Overview view
if you "Update Code", it updates in toolchain folder, even MEX is somewehere else.
Hope it helps.

I appreciate the quick response Libor, thank you. We are using v11.7.0 here, I will check here next I think 'Update Code' was my missing step
Thanks!
