The other plugin options which are concerned with MXM Linking are:

 Options > material Defaults > MXM Mode

 Options > Behavior > Auto-update Linked materials

The material Defaults > MXM Mode option simply determines whether new materials will have MXM Linking enabled. The Behavior >

Auto-update Linked materials option determines whether or not linked materials should actively listen for changes to their linked MXM

files. When this is enabled, then any changes made to an MXM file will immediately be reflected in any materials which link to it. When it

is disabled, the only time a linked material updates itself is when the document it is contained in is opened – it may be modified during

the session, but any changes will be lost the next time its document is opened (unless Options > Ignore Linked MXM Mode is enabled, of

course).

By now, you may be asking, what is the real purpose of all of these options? Why are they necessary? The answer is simple: some

workflows require materials to behave in an embedded manner, and not to hold any external relation to an MXM file, while other

workflows require materials to behave in a way such that they always use the current state of an MXM file. Generally, where you have

multiple people working on a project, and you want them all to use the same MXM file for certain materials, you would want to adopt a

linked model of working. That way, it becomes possible to use Maxwell’s MXED Material Editor to edit a single MXM and have the

changes take effect in all documents which link to it. To establish this workflow, you would want to set your options as such:

 Options > material Defaults > MXM Mode = Linked

 Options > Behavior > Ignore Linked MXM Mode = No

 Options > Behavior > Auto-update Linked materials = Yes

Doing so ensures that any new materials created from MXM files will use linked mode, that they will actively listen for changes being

made to those MXM files, and that they will update themselves whenever the documents they are contained in are opened.

If, on the other hand, you prefer that each material always maintain its as-saved state in the document, then you would want to set

those options such that:

 Options > material Defaults > MXM Mode = Embedded

 Options > Behavior > Ignore Linked MXM Mode = Yes

 Options > Behavior > Auto-update Linked materials = No

Doing so ensures that all new materials will be created using embedded mode, and that any which were created by importing MXM files

will never attempt to update themselves. At any time, it is possible to manually re-load a material’s source MXM file, either by using

Material Editor > Options menu > Reload Linked MXM, or by checking the ‘Linked’ checkbox.
