I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.6.0

Unable to find where Creo Chromium-browser-cache is located for Creo 11.0.6.0 on the client to be able to clear it at every Creo start.

    If PTC_WF_ROOT is not set then the cache is in:

    %LOCALAPPDATA%/PTC/Creo/Platform/Zbrowser

     

    if PTC_WF_ROOT is set then the cache is in:

    %PTC_WF_ROOT%/.ssrd

    Hi RandyJones, thanks for swift answer.
    PTC_WF_ROOT is set.
    Now tested, deleting the .ssrd folder did clear the browser cache!

    Yep. We do the same thing with a custom Creo Parametric startup .bat.

    You can verify the location by typing chrome://version/ into the browser address bar and it will give you that as well as other information.

    Thanks for the reminder, now when you mention it, I remember I've used that method before. 👍

    FYI - Within the embedded browser in Creo Parametric, enter the address "chrome://version/".  It will display information about Chromium which includes the full cache path.
