user pref file

Hi,

how to make my personal.ucf is written in the same directory as my personal...UPF (on the network)

I've created:

_USTN_HOMEROOT                     =     $(_USTN_ORGANIZATION)USERS/$(USERNAME)/$(computername)/

_USTN_LocalUserAppDataPath         =  $(_USTN_HOMEROOT)/

but still the personal.ucf is written to:

C:\.....\AppData\Local\Bentley\OpenBuildingsDesigner\10.0.0\prefs  (on the computer where OBD is installed)

what other variable do I have to change too

regards,

Rik

  • Marc,

    I have seen the same issue and no longer store user files on the network. This has been seen even on quicker networks.

    What we prefer to do is have all users files in a single custom location.

    C:\Apps\Users\$(username)

    We also use the location to install all software packages. The reason for this is that IT lock down the Program Files (etc) location and we need to copy a text file into the Appl directory.

    What we then do is each time the hta application we use is closed, it copies the user files to the network. If a user swaps machines and they already have existing user files then they are copied down to the machines. If they are a new user, then they get a fresh copy of all files.

    Thanks,
