File -> Open

[Praveee]

In my workstation, file --> open, opens the working directory which i've preselected whereas in my pc i've noticed that file --> open opens the last opened directory. how can this be controlled???

Your working folder can change by accessing certain files in different folders than the start or active folder.

How are you starting Creo? Are you setting your own shortcut working folder or are you changing your working folder once Creo starts?

Praveen,

use file_open_default_folder config.pro option.

file_open_default_folder

working_directory, in_session, my_documents, pro_library, workspace, commonspace

Sets default directory from which to open a file when using File > Open.

working_directory—Searches the working directory.

in_session—Searches objects in session.

my_documents—Searches the My Documents folder.

pro_library—Searches the Library directory in Library.

workspace—Searches the Workspace in PDM application.

commonspace—Searches the Commonspace in Pro/INTRALINK.

default—Searches for the My Documents folder on Windows when you click File > Open, PTC Creo Parametric opens the directory where the previous File Open dialog box was closed. In a linked session with a PDM application, searches the active workspace.
