Do you have write access to the Start In folder?

The default starting folder is probably defined as your Home folder in Windows.

If that Start In folder has your company start part templates in it, it would probably be read only.

Are you using Windchill or another PDM system to manage your files or just native disk filing? This may have a factor on how things work.

We define our start In folder to be c;\PTC_User\%username%. We use Windchill so in Creo the default working directory is defined as the user's workspace. They still have the option of selecting Working directory which is c;\PTC_User\%username%.

I actually do have that, and I can even copy a config file to the start-up folder (or rather, the folder Creo keeps opening). However, the problem remains with the working directory, which just won’t save no matter what I try. I don’t know what else to do. And also, the company I work for doesn’t use Windchill and the job needs me to always change the working directory but not every time i start creo. At another company I worked for that did use Windchill, there were no issues at all.

I do not have Windchill.

This sets my working directory every time I start Creo.

First thing to do when having problems with loading a config.pro is to look at the configuration editor and check what config.pro files have loaded.

If there is config.pro in the "start in folder", it should load.

Mine shows the 3 configuration files that load each time I start creo.
