CREO AFX CUSTOMIZATION_PATH

Question

How can I define a path as an environment variable for CUSTOMIZATION_PATH in the AFX module that is accepted? Currently, I have to set this option via Creo, but it should also be definable in the PSF file or via a startup script. Currently, the module does not accept this environment variable even though it is included in Creo.

Hi, Are you looking for Customized Library path location or customization folder location inside your AFX library ?

We can set Customized Library path location through Env. variable though psf file.

To set customization folder location inside your AFX library,

1) Set it through Creo.

2) Edit afx_options.xml file in configuration folder in your AFX library.

and add value there like below,

<Category layout="lay_category_2">
<Option name="CUSTOMIZATION_PATH" type="PATH">
<Value>Add address of customization folder inside your library</Value>
</Option>
</Category>
