I can find these two variables in config.pro file, but in which file define these two variables' path?

Usually we define path like this ENV=PRO_DIRECTORY=D:\SAMPLE FOLDER. but i can't find this definition in all .bat files and .psf files.

  • $PRO_DIRECTORY
  • $CREO_COMMON_FILES

Hi,

 

I guess that Creo creates these local variables automatically, when you start new session.

I agree with you, because i tried to find all .bat and .psf files but can't find these variables.

You will see the following snippet in a number of batch files in the Creo app directory (<loadpoint>\parametric etc.):

### Creo 4.0 ###
set APPDIR=%~dp0..
set cf=%~dp0..\..
set PRODIR=%cf%\Common Files
[...]
set PRO_DIRECTORY=%PRODIR%

### Creo 2.0 ###
set APPDIR=%~dp0..
set cf=%~dp0..\..
set PRODIR=%cf%\Common Files\M240
[...]
set PRO_DIRECTORY=%PRODIR%

I assume one of the batch files is called during Creo startup prior to processing the PSF file.

Hi,

I found these files contain the variables.

Thank you for your help.
