Linking cs files from one project to another
Just upgraded from Ranorex 3.0.5 to Ranorex 3.2.2. In the 3.0.5 version when I did an Add Existing Item from one project to another and chose the cs file whether it was a recording or repository I would get the option to either Copy or Link the cs file. I would choose the Link option which would allow me to maintain the Recording or Repository in one project and it would automatically get updated in any other project I had that cs file linked. In the 3.2.2 version when I choose to Add Existing Item and choose the cs file, I don't get a prompt for copy or link and it just automatically creates a new rxrec or rxrep file in the new project. So instead of having one rxrec or rxrep to maintain and link to other projects I now have a copy of the rxrec or rxrep in each project I use the recording/repository. For any existing links for recordings/repositories I already have, they work fine in 3.2.2, I just can't create any new ones.

Re: Linking cs files from one project to another
Hi,
Yes that's true, it is no longer allowed to link recordings to another project, because of several problematic reasons.
If you want to use a recording or other files from another project I would suggest to add a project reference, because if you edit something in the base project, the changes will also be adopted in the projects you referenced to, you just have to perform a refresh.
There is also a useful blog about such a topic, here is the link.
