DIR_METRICS
<directory path>
Specifies the path to a directory in which metrics flat files are written. The directory specified by the DIR_METRICS configuration option should be a common directory for all users, for easy compilation and management of the flat files.
For performance reasons, the flat file is initially written to the directory specified by the DIR_REPORT configuration option and is moved to the directory specified by the DIR_METRICS configuration option when you exit Creo Parametric.
* 
This option is used only if the DIR_METRICS_NT or DIR_METRICS_U configuration options are not set. If none of the options are set, the directory from which Creo Parametric was started is used by default.
