hello everybody,
is there a way to prevent .idx files of family table?
at least someyhing that can reorient these files to another directory.
thanks
 
thanks jnoval for your quick answer.
however, your option doesn't have effect to .idx files..they will be created anyway even with none.
SAVE_INSTANCE_ACCELERATOR has effect to files xpr and xas and not .idx
 
is it just idx files you want to reroute or do you want to purge the various log files that proe creates?

yes something like that (.inf, .tst, .log,...). to not create them or orient them to anoher directory.
 
You cannot not create those files, you may be able to redirect but not from proe. I use a mapkey to save&purge which additionally deletes these files in progress.
 
seems good idea.
can you provide the mapkey syntax! many thanks.
 
do a search of this site -- the solution was given a number of times.
 
I found only to save and purge old versions prt, asm, drw...but not other files inf, idx, xpr, log, usr, err,...

pl teach me how can do it (include .mbx file when create nc program)
P/S but if you use creo to open pro_wf version ,it don't create .idx file
 
I wrote a batch file years ago that I continue to use every day.

I called it: "pro-clean.bat"

purge
del *.inf.*
del *.mp.*
del *.err.*
del *.idx.*
