File Location Setup for General Tables

Eric Blankinship Oct 4, 2016 1:24 PM

Hello All,

I am probably just overlooking something here but I can find in the file locations part of system options about every type of Table except for General Table. I have made a custom General Table for multiple people to use and need to store it on a location accessible to all so want it path to location I specify and no the standard C: Drive location by default for SolidWorks. Which file location do I need to change to setup the default paths for General Tables?

I have the same setup as your and let the engineers browser for the table template in the server (couldn't find a setup in the options)
Good thing is, it will point to the same folder for the next time

  Seems really bizzare that you can setup a location for revision table, title block table, BOM table, Sheet Metal Table, ect. Yet none for General Table

  Jeremy,
  
  I can't think of a logical reason why BOM Templates & General Tables would associate to the same location but you appear to be correct.
  
  Thanks for the help!

    It could be BOM Template Table as well
