I am having trouble with getting Solidworks seach in SW Explorer to use the directoryu I need. I found the setting under options, but it doesn't keep the folder I set. Went to file locatrions in SW, set it there, still doesn't search. I need this to work when I rename a file, so it can fix all the references / links to other assemblies, etc.
In SW Exolorer go tothe OPTIONS button on the top of the GUI (mine is third button over) and choose the REFERENCES / WHERE USED tab. In the FILE LOCATIONS portion of the dialog select the ADD FOLDER option. If you have a top level folder with sub folders just selec the top level folder otherwise you will need to add multiple folders.
If it does not keep the then you may need to check your local machine permissions as its not letting you update the registry.
