Windchill 9.1 & Solidworks 2010

Does anyone know how to edit/set the cache location in Windchill 9.1 for Solidworks 2010? Some of our employees have their workspaces/cache set to network drives when it should be local. I'm trying to fix this for them but haven't found how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The information in this PTC Express article should still be accurate for Windchill 9 & 10.

Variable

Default Value

Description

PTC_WF_ROOT

%USERPROFILE%\Application

Data\PTC\ProENGINEER\

Wildfire\

Overrides the default location of .wf directory which contains .Settings and .Cache.

Note: Existing data will not be copied to a new location automatically.

PTC_WF_CACHE

%PTC_WF_ROOT%/.cache

Define a folder in which all new workspace caches will be stored.

Note: Existing workspaces will continue to reside in %PTC_WF_ROOT%/.cache
