Appearances & Scenes folder move to network

Daen Hendrickson Aug 18, 2010 5:34 PM

I am using SW2010 SP4.

I am performing some cleaning up of our SolidWorks installation. I noticed that the Appearances and Scenes folders shown in the task pane tab are pointed to my local drive. I thought it a good idea to move these files out to the network area along with our other common files for SW.

I have added the new folders in the task pane, but how do I get rid of the mapping to the local drive? Can't delete it in the task pane and I see no reference to it in the Options / File Locations?

Thanks,

Daen

Funny, I thought about doing that a long time ago, but I didn't see any point to it. My company doesn't make it's own textures, scenes, or appearances, so we just go with whatever is installed. Unless you are making your own, and you want everyone on your network to use your custom appearances, then I would stick to the C-drive.

But you are correct, there is no option in SolidWorks for changing the location of scenes and appearances. The closest thing is 'Textures'.

  Thanks Tom,
  
  We don't really have a reason to move it either - just consistency.
