When you build a {{Delphi}} project, {{Product}} generates a {{Delphi}} resource string file if your project meets any of the following conditions:
* The '''Output resource string .drc file''' option in {{Menu|Project > Options > {{Delphi}} Compiler > [[Linking]]}} is {{TrueOption}}.
* You are building your project for 32-bit Windows, 64-bit Windows, Mac OS X, or iOS Simulator, and the value of the '''Map file''' option in {{Menu|Project > Options > {{Delphi}} Compiler > [[Linking]]}} is "Detailed".
* You are building your project for 32-bit iOS Device or 64-bit iOS Device and the value of the '''Map file ARM''' option in {{Menu|Project > Options > {{Delphi}} Compiler > [[Linking]]}} is "map file and .drc file".

When you build a C++ project, {{Product}} generates a {{Delphi}} resource string file if the '''Generate .drc file''' option in {{Menu|Project > Options > [[C++ Linker]]}} is enabled.

Your {{Delphi}} resource string file contains the [[Resource Strings|resource strings]] of your project.

When you build your project, your {{Delphi}} resource string file is generated by default as {{Path|{{Placeholder|package}}.drc}} into the following folder:
* In [[Packages|packages]]:
** For 32-bit Windows: {{Path|{{PublicDocumentsPath}}\Bpl}}
** For other platforms in {{Delphi}} and 64-bit Windows in C++: {{Path|{{PublicDocumentsPath}}\Bpl\{{Placeholder|platform}}}}
** For other platforms in C++: {{Path|{{PublicDocumentsPath}}\Bpl\{{Placeholder|platform}}\{{Placeholder|build configuration}}}}
* In other projects: {{Path|{{ProjectsPath}}\{{Placeholder|project}}\{{Placeholder|platform}}\{{Placeholder|build configuration}}}}

To change the output directory:
* In {{Delphi}}, use the '''Package output directory''' option in {{Menu|Project > Options > [[{{Delphi}} Compiler]]}}.
* In C++, use the '''Final output directory''' option in {{Menu|Project > Options > [[C++ (Shared Options)]]}}.
