Setting File Retrieval Options
You can set the following options to point to the Windchill cabinets:
• start_model_dir
• pro_library_dir
• pro_format_dir
• pro_materials_dir
• pro_group-dir
• pro_symbols_dir
• pro_catalog_dir
 
• In a Creo application, it is not necessary to set the search_path configuration option. By default, when you set a Windchill server as your primary server, the entire primary server with its active workspace appears in the search path.
• If you retrieve an object from a location other than the primary server, the object is treated as a newly created object in the Creo application. All actions performed on the object such as save, checkout, and so on are in context of the primary server and not the location from which the object was retrieved.
You can set the following options to point to a specific file:
• intf_in_use_template_models
• template_designasm
• template_mold_layout
• template_ecadprt
• template_solidpart
You can set the above options to point to the locations of Windchill files using the proper syntax and the name of the CAD document that manages the file.
