extension folder

[megaladon]

i would like to set up my pro so that it sends all extensions to an extension folder


ie the .err, .crc, .inf, .out (all of them to same folder) like a pro work where my trail files goto


has anyone done this or know how to


thanks

Interesting question. I would extend this question a bit further. How to force all the files that proe generates except .prt, .asm, .drw, .mfg to a specified folder such that one can purge these at once.

There is a free program called truEUtilities which have a lot of purge and clean options in where you can add file extensions which you want to clean from your folders.
Pretty useful for that kind of files to remove from your folders.

What I do is have a custom batch file that launches Intralink or ProE, that way when it startsin the same directory each time, you need to make sure that the startup directory is set, you can do it with a windows variable, and than set it in the batch file, or you can set it in the ptcsetup.
This directory is where ProE will send all temp files, if it is not set it will do so to the working directory.
What you can do is cut bacl on the files that are created by using info_output_mode and setting this to screen this will only display info files.


For cleaning uip netork directories,I have a script whereI call out a cleanup batch file which than will delete all of the temp files in that directory, you can also execute it with a script to clean up all folders as well. This is what my cleanup batch looks like:


rem Delete misc Pro/ENGINEER files from startup directory


cd /d %PROE_STARTUP_DIR%
