Changing working directory

[mattcoyle]

How do I change my working directory temporarily so that I can have projects save in specific locations, vs the default work folder?

...maybe a silly question but I can't find the config setting!?!

Bring up the folder navigator in pro/e, right click on the directory you want and chose "set working directory"


(hope I understood your question right)

Pro/E will save modified existing objects back where they came from, no need to change working directories. NEW objects will be saved by default to the current working directory but you can navigate to a different directory at the time of the initial save. You can also use File/Set working directory to change it while you are working.

Hi,


I've written a small utility proereg that will add a Windows registry key so you can start Pro/E by clicking the right mouse button on top of a folder. The selected folder will be the default working directory for that session. Any config.pro file that is within the root of this folder will also be loaded automatically. This way you can very easily switch configuration between folders.


You can download it from


ftp://celkunststoffen.khlim.be/ProE/Setup1-1.exe


It will also try to add the necessary config.pro options to your default config.pro in your Pro/E installation directory.


Perhaps it can be of any use to you.


As always use it at your own risk. Any remarks are always welcome.


By the way I'm also working on some kind of ProE_Explorer a bit like the SolidWorksExplorer.


Best regards,


John
