Creo Version: Creo 10.0.8.0 and Creo 12.4.4.0.

I’m trying to figure out where the metrics files are being written.

It looks like files are being written somewhere.   But Windows 11 search is terrible, so it can’t fine files I can see with my eyes.

I have the config_init.mc option set as follows.

  • DIR_METRICS    C:\ptc\mc_out\mc_metrics
  • DIR_METRICS_NT C:\ptc\mc_out\mc_metrics
  • DIR_REPORT_NT    C:\ptc\mc_out\mc_report (This works, so I know I have write permission)


Image from ModelCHECK configuration tool shows files are being written somewhere.  (probably)

Unless configured in the config_init.mc they are written to:

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\PTC\ProENGINEER\mdlchk

If you use batch mode, you will also see status and logs in:

C:\ProgramData\

    Thanks for the tip.   I found the files in the files in the start-in directory, which for us is in another local location.   Also, I removed and re-added the location from the config file using the configuration tool, and only set mc_metrics and removed  references to legacy mc_metrics_nt configurations.   Now its finally working as expected.
