I loose the logic every so often as well.

I just bringing a part in from elsewhere and it shouldn't make the new location the working folder.

However, I have noticed that a backup type save-as files will change the working folder.

Creo remembers where a part came from in session but it does not maintain this information within the files.

Creo does use a search path scenario if you implement it.  This would cover library parts and alike.

I too would love to see a matrix of what can change your current working folder.

Hi,

solution no.1

>>> there is a directory containing library parts

>>> there is a directory containing assemblies and parts that belong to your project

You want to have all assemblies and parts located in single directory, this means that you have to copy necessary library parts from library directory to project directory.

solution no.2

>>> there is a directory containing library parts

>>> there is a directory containing assemblies and parts that belong to your project

You want to have all non-library assemblies and non-library parts located in single directory, necessary library parts are accessed from library directory. In this case you have to add the following option into config.pro file:

search_path  full_path_to_library_directory

Hello bogdan catalin

l agree with MartinHanak solution no.2. More comfortable and well arranged is using search_path_file.

1. See attached config.pro

2. See attached search_path.TXT.

-------------------------

The key features are following:

Config.pro ---- includes only 1 row that is linked to *.TXT file

*.TXT file includes all directories that are searched whan new model is opened.

-------------------------

This way you can keep config.pro short and weel arranged.

Best regards
