Starting in a project folder

Question

Hello,For many years, I'm using Creo (Pro/E) on local HDD.In each folder project, I had a .cmd script that launch Creo 2, 3...)So, local config.pro, appearances were loads for each project, depending on my clients.Now, I can't do this with Creo8.Batch (cmd) files doesn't works anymore.So, what could be a good solution for starting Creo in a specific folder, loading global AND local config.pro and could open local files ?Now, Opening file start-up in "My Documents"...Thanks a lot.

The file contains following linestart "creo" "E:\PTC\Creo8_020\Creo 8.0.2.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.bat" When I run start.bat it loads config.pro located in E:\users\creo8_parametric directory successfully. So it seems to me that you have some mistake in your bat-file.

Do you need the ability to run different versions of Creo depending on your client or will all of your work be done in Creo 8?

If all work in a single version of Creo, depending on client, I would just create a shortcut in your folder to the parameytric.bat file in each version /bin folder and then set the Start In setting to that folder.

I use a command file to copy and launch project config files and different versions of Creo with Creo 4 and 7. Don't know why anything would change with Creo 8.
