In our project we refer all included files from the root of include folder which is specified in Project Properties -> Configuration Propertiees -> NMake -> Include Search Path. Therefore all included files should look like that:

#include <RTSG/XML3D/Data/XML3DDataEvents.hpp>

Visual Assist however when adding references from a refactoring menu for an unknown symbol ("Add include XML3DDataEvent.hpp") adds them as a relative path:

#include "../Data/XML3DDataEvents.hpp"

which is not desired as source files may travel from one directory to another. Please add an option that allows to use a certain directory as a root for all included files.

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem here.
Did you happen to restart (all instances of) Visual Studio after you set Project Properties/Configuration Properties/NMake/Include Search Path ?
You may also need to rebuild symbol databases: VA Options -> Performance -> Rebuild symbol databases
If these doesn't help, I will dig deeper to see what might cause the problems for you.

Somehow this bug is gone on its own :).

You might find this registry setting helpful, which you can use to force VA to always use #include <> or #include "" lines for Add Include:

Hi,

The problem is again there. Actually it is not a bug, but rather a feature request. Relatives paths are also correct, but they are less robust. There should just be an option to prefer including files by absolute path using one of the include dirs as a root rather than relative path from the file that include is added to.

P.S. I have created a small test project and tested with it. Apparently for some time it was also including the files using relative path and then changed back to absolute (after several times opening/closing the project). You can find the project here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16259710/test_include.7z

I think that the following FAQ entry will help you, which has the title "How to stop Add Include using relative paths" which sounds like your solution

http://docs.wholetomato.com?W336

What do you think?

Thanks. This definitely helps. Can I also force VAX to use full path even for the files that are in the same directory?

Why would you want to use the full path even for files that are in the same directory? Are your files being moved around the directory structure this often?
