Working Directory

Location:

     File tab > (Working Directory)

     Toolbar short cut:

The Working Directory command button opens the Working Directory file selection window enabling you to set the Working Directory to a location where you can open and save Vericut files. After setting the Working Directory, Vericut will look here by default whenever files are saved or opened. You can also quickly access files in this folder via the Working Directory entry in the file selection window Shortcut list.

    

Most features on this window are standard file selection window features that enable you to navigate through directories, filter files, and type or select file names. In this case, all that is required is to select a folder. For additional information on Vericut file selection windows, see Introduction to Vericut File Selection Windows section of Vericut Help.
