custom_dirs.dat

custom_dirs.dat

custom_dirs.dat

(OP)
I know I've seen this before, but I can't seem to find it.  
Is there a way to point to a network custom_dirs.dat file for all users?  

RE: custom_dirs.dat

(OP)
I answered my own question and sparked a new one.
To control custom_dirs.dat from custom_env.dat I added the line
UGII_CUSTOM_DIRECTORY_FILE=<my path>\custom_dirs.dat

My new question is can I do the same thing with phys_materials.dat?  I can't find taht environment variable.  

Thanks

RE: custom_dirs.dat

My new question is can I do the same thing with phys_materials.dat?  I can't find taht environment variable.  
Change this in customer defaults or add new env. variable

UGII_PHYS_MATERIAL_LIB_DIR =
UGII_PHYS_MATERIAL_LIB_DATA_DIR =

RE: custom_dirs.dat

(OP)
I'm using NX5.
I added the env variable to custom_env.dat called
UGII_PHYS_MATERIAL_LIB_DATA_DIR=<mypath>, that seemed to do it for me.  Thanks
