the path to the .dwg file is hard-coded into the equest file so if you 
move the .dwg the next time you open the simulation file you'll get a 
prompt that equest can't find it & would you like to locate it.

alternatively you could just edit the .pd2 file and/or .inp file (using 
notepad) & change the hard-coded path to a moved .dwg file prior to 
opening the simulation file again.
