Problem

When adding Print Definitions to a .pset (Print Set) in Print Organizer, the directory which contains my design files must be manually navigated to each time.
Is there a way to set the default search directory for adding print definitions so time can be saved?

Solution

Set the configuration variable MS_DEF in your configuration to point to a specific directory.
This variable controls the search path for design files.

By default, this variable points to C:\Users\<username>\Documents\
but, it can be changed to any directory.

File > Settings > Configuration > Configuration Variables > Primary Search Paths > MS_DEF

For example, you could change the definition to something like this:

MS_DEF = D:/Example/Project/
