Here is where you set the paths to resources that you want to use. You can set paths to:
NOTE: The dimmed file paths cannot be immediately edited because they point to shared folders. To edit these default paths, use the System Configuration Utility (the EVPDD tab).
Local settings
Local settings folder The default location where all local settings files are stored.
Custom toolbars file The default path to the INI file containing the settings for what the toolbars look like.
Application Help file (empty by default) The path to the start page of the help system. Note that you do not set this path here. To do so, Start the System Configuration Utility, and then click the EVPDD [Version](x64) tab. In the list of file locations, click the Application Help file row, and then click Browse. Browse to where your help system resides (a local drive or a URL), and select the home.htm file.
Shared settings
Shared settings folder Sets a default folder for all shared settings. NOTE: If you see this row dimmed, this means that
Shared template file Sets a shared template file and its default folder.

Templates folder Sets a default folder for EngView templates (.evt files).
Design frames folder Sets a default folder for design frames (.evf files).
Cost Models folder Sets a default folder for Cost Estimator files (.cem files).
Cost Models Data folder (empty by default) Type here a location where the program will save the actual data used in cost models. After you set a path, each time you edit the default values for design and selection parameters in an .evd file, the program creates a .cemd file that keeps the new values. This CEMD file is then stored in the location you set here.
TIP: If you need the CEMD file to be accessed by multiple users on a network, type a shared location.
IMPORTANT: You will not be able to access the .cemd file for a project whose name or location was changed outside EngView.
