NAME
HW_CONFIG_PATH - Specifies the path to search for certain configuration files.
SYNTAX
HW_CONFIG_PATH directory1;directory2;etc...
TYPE
HyperWorks Desktop Environment Variable
DESCRIPTION
Specifies the path to search for certain configuration files. These configuration files can be stored in a global or central location for convenience or in order to keep the default installed copy unedited. In addition, this prevents them from being overwritten when a new HyperWorks version or update is installed.
On a PC, when the application starts, it first reads the preference/config file in the installation directory, and then it reads the preference/config environment variable (HW_CONFIG_PATH). It also reads the hmmenu.set and hmcustom.tcl from the USER HOME (C:\Users\<USERNAME>). On UNIX, the program first reads the preference/config file in the user’s home directory, then the current working directory. Finally, on both PC and UNIX, the program looks for the user defined preference/config file.
These files are:
hm.cfg file |
fatigue.cfg file |
userpage.mac file |
feconfig.cfg file |
hmmenu.set file |
hyperlaminate.cfg file |
hmcustom.tcl file |
Any printer settings (which may also exist in hm.cfg). |
preferences.mvw file |
|
directory
The path to the directory to search. Multiple paths can be specified, separated by a semi-colon. The first path encountered that contains the file will be used.
EXAMPLES
To set the directory E:\mydir:
HW_CONFIG_PATH E:\mydir
To set the directory to E:\mydir and C:\mysettings:
HW_CONFIG_PATH E:\mydir;C:\mysettings
ERRORS
None.
