Selecting the Working Directory
Your working directory is the folder that you designate to store your Creo Parametric files. For the tutorial, set the working directory to the folder where you downloaded your models. For each exercise, you will change the working directory to the subfolder for that exercise.
Set the working directory using one of the following procedures, depending on whether or not a model is open.
When a model is not open
1. On the Home tab, click Select Working Directory. The Select Working Directory dialog box opens.
2. Browse to the directory you want to set as your working directory.
3. Click OK.
When a model is open
1. On the Model tab, click File > Options. The Creo Parametric Options dialog box opens.

3. Next to Working directory, click Browse. The Select Working Directory dialog box opens.
4. Browse to the directory you want to set as your working directory.
5. Click OK.
6. Click OK in the Creo Parametric Options dialog box.
