Parametric 2.0 - Setting Default Workspace/Save/Open

Hi All

 

I am just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction...

 

I want to set the default workspace to a network drive, so when they open or save a file or do anything it auto defaults to their personal network drive.

 

Is there a config file i can edit somewhere? Then i can send it out over GP.

 

Any help would be aprreciated

 

Thanks

Scott

Scott,

I guess that you do not use Windchill PDMLink. If this is true then you simply store your data on network drive.

You can force Creo Parametric 2.0 to work in working directory - add the following option into config.pro:

FILE_OPEN_DEFAULT_FOLDER WORKING_DIRECTORY

To enable user to access his personal directory, put the appropriate information into Start in field of shortcut used to start Creo Parametric 2.0. For example Z:%USERNAME%

Hi Martin

Thank You for your reply.

Where is the config.pro file and do i just add FILE_OPEN_DEFAULT_FOLDER WORKING_DIRECTORY to the end and add the correct drive?

Sorry only started using this software yesterday

Thanks

Scott,

I have installed Creo Parametric 2.0 M070 into C:\PTC\Creo2_M070 directory.

PTC installer created default config.pro in C:\PTC\Creo2_M070\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M070\text directory.

I added FILE_OPEN_DEFAULT_FOLDER WORKING_DIRECTORY into it and attached it to this reply.
