How to use relative paths for URDF

[sam-tj]

Heya Team,

I have v1.9 release and I use a robot urdf with absolute path "/home/user/robot.urdf". I would like to share the layout with my team and for that the problem is the absolute path where the urdf is stored. In my case it is my user but for others it will change.

Please can you suggest a way to use relative paths or would it be possible to move files to a directory of lichtblick (maybe in /opt). In case you suggest a folder, an important part would be that if the software (Lichtblick) gets auto updated, the files must remain.

Hoping to hear from you soon :)

Hi @sam-tj sorry for the late reply. We don't have an immediate answer but will investigate this. Were you able to solve this?
Thanks
